Turn the sentences into separate paragraphs, using Replace; [. ] to [^p],

Then convert text to table. If you needed to sort by the first word, that would be easy. If it is a selected word, then add a second column to the table and manually place the word in that column for each sentence. Sort on that, and then remove the extra column.

Finally convert the table back to text. You can also use 'Replace' to re-join the sentences. (Check the [More] and [Special] options on Replace for lots more options.)

So create an extra column using the word you do want.
