Can you sort an outline alphabetically

Question

Hello Does any one know if you can you sort an outline in pages alphabetically? I could do it using word. I am using one of those templets. Thank you.

Ok This is what you were after.
This assumes that you use a Paragraph style for your header AND THERE IS ONLY ONE HEADER ON EACH PAGE WHICH IS ONLY ONE PARAGRAPH LONG

var doc =  app.documents[0], myHeaders, l;
app.changeGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "My Header";
// Change above to the name of header style
myHeaders = doc.findGrep();
for (n=0; n < myHeaders.length-1; n++) $.writeln([myHeaders[n].contents]);
myHeaders.sort (function (a,b) {if (a.contents.toLowerCase() > b.contents.toLowerCase())  return 1 else return -1})
l = myHeaders.length;
while (l--) myHeaders[l].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.move (LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING);
