MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2006sorting annual events view
I have a list of birthdays set up as recurring annual events. How do I get a date sorted list? Sorting by "recurrence" does an alphabetic sort of the text describing it thus "every April 14" comes BEFORE "every January 2" Thanks, Paul DS. > I have a list of birthdays set up as recurring annual events.

But then the oldest person's birthday comes first and the youngest last - or am I missing something? I'm looking for a "birthdays calendar" so I can look at it and see the birthday's ordered throughout the year.

I don't think that's possible in any table view. In the Day/Week/Month view, you could filter on the word "Birthday" in the subject or add all your birthdays to a "Birthday" category and then filter on that so that, say, the month view shows only birthdays.

Glad to know I'm not going mad then ;-). It seems bizarre that since Outlook has to calculate the "date at which the event triggers next", it's not possible to list annual events like that.
