sort_by is your friend. I don't have a windows machine handy to
experiment, but say an Rows:WIN32OLE_METHOD defines a #name, you can
say

p m.sort_by {|i| i.name}

or even

m.map {|i| i.name}.sort

if what you want is the names, rather than the Rows:WIN32OLE_METHOD
objects themselves.

Of course, if you *can* print it, it evidently defines to_s and
inspect methods, so this will work:

puts m.map {|i| i.to_s}.sort

or

puts m.map {|i| i.inspect}.sort
