Ever stuck in sorting a huge bullet list? One of the 90% unknown Word features found at [1].

The Sort Text command can be used to alphabetize lists instantly.

  1. Type a list of names, pressing ENTER after each name. Your list should look something like:
    • Madeleine Kelly
    • Brian Cox
    • Tamara Johnston
  2. Select the entire list.
  3. On the Table menu, click Sort.
  4. Click Options, click Other, press SPACEBAR and then click OK.
  5. In the Sort by list, click Word 2, and then click OK.

    Now your list looks like this:

    • Brian Cox
    • Tamara Johnston
    • Madeleine Kelly
  6. Repeat steps 1 through 5, but click Word 1 in the Sort by list, and your list will look like this:
    • Brian Cox
    • Madeleine Kelly
    • Tamara Johnston

Ups, I've done it. It's fubar [1] now.

However it's possible to send an error report using the errorreport switch: csc *.cs /errorreport:prompt

Actually I found why the compiler screw up. I use a lot of plattform invokes and because I am lazy I use a constant with the library name.

private const string LIB = "MyNativeDll.dll";

[DllImport(LIB)]
//...

While changing the code, I removed the const modifier by accident, which causes the compiler to fail...
