+<p><strong>Sorting Sequences</strong></p>
+<p>Any group of selected sequences may be reordered by pressing the
+up or down arrow keys. The whole alignment may also be reordered by
+the use of the functions in the Sort menu (Calculate->Sort):
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Sort by ID</strong>
+<p>Orders the sequences by the alphanumeric (0-9A-Za-z)
+precedence of their names.</p>
+</li>
+<li><strong>Sort by Group</string>
+<p>Places sequences in the same group adjacent to eachother.</p>
+</li>
+<li><strong>Sort by Pairwise Identity</strong>
+<p>Places pairs of sequences together that align with the greatest
+fraction of conserved residues.
+</p>
+</li><strong>Sort by Tree Order</strong>
+<p>The leaf ordering of a particular phylogenetic tree is used to
+order the sequences corresponding to those leaves in the
+alignment.<br>
+If a tree has been calculated from or associated with the current
+alignment, its name will appear in the submenu 'Sort->By Tree Order->'.<p>
+</li>
+<li><strong>Sort by alignment ordering</strong>
+<p>Multiple alignment methods often order the sequences in their
+alignments by some measure of sequence identity.<br>
+If the current alignment has been generated by one of the Jalview
+alignment web services, the alignment ordering can be recovered by
+its corresponding entry in the 'Sort->By ..' menu.
