Ryan is applying a sort to the data in a table that you have inserted in Word. Which option is important for most tables that have column headings?

When a table has column headings, Word needs to know that the first row contains labels rather than data. Select “My List has Header Row” so the headings stay in place while the rows are sorted. Otherwise, a heading could be sorted along with the table’s data.
