Hello, I using Outlook 2003. I have my contacts sorted by categories. I'd
like to set this as the default... If i accidentally hit the field titles or
do something that changes then my view is messed up and takes me a bit to
get it back the way i want it. Also, how can i prevent the expanding of my
contacts. I'd like the initial view just to show the categories and
collapsed.
Thanks,
Brian

Judy Gleeson has provided the following workaround to overcome the new
way Outlook 2003 sorts the "By Category" view:

Use the Detailed or Simple List view, show the columns you want to see
(field chooser), click the column (eg Last Name) you want to sort by,
THEN use the group by box to group by Category. That should have
alphabetical as well as the grouping.
