Here's what you get when you click the Sort icon. You choose File > Print, click Yes in that little window that asks you about a form letter, and you get the print window. You know how to print a mail merge letter, envelope document, or label document. Just specify what you want, when you print. You could, it would be fine, but it's more work than you need to do.

You don't need to go into Base or Calc and sort the information. You don't need to set up a query ahead of time in Base or in Calc. Or let's say you need to print labels for everyone but you need to do it in order by zip code or the people at the post office are going to be very annoyed. You need to send out a letter reminding people to, oh, sign up for benefits, or renew their membership, or maybe it's just a congratulatory letter for some people who have five years of service now and are going to get that sterling silver ice bucket they've always wanted. So you've got 2000 employees, or members, or whatever. I hate it when I blithely skip by fantastic built-in features.
