Tip: If you have Excel 2013, there is an easy tool for you to sort the fields just in the PivotTable Field pane. Click one cell in the pivot table to display the PivotTable Field  pane, and then click the Tools arrow at the top right of the PivotTable Fields Pane, then click Sort A to Z option from the popped list, see screenshot:

Note: If you want to return the field list to its original order, select Sort in Data Source Order option.
