MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Distribution List sorting with initials after name, e.g., M.D., CP
When I am setting up a distribution list on a contact having a professional designation, Outlook does not sort by first or last name, but by the designation. It seems no matter how I have the "File as" field completed. What do I need to do to have it ignore the designation and sort on first or last name only? Thanks. As I recall, this is a bug that was never fixed. What Outlook version?

We have a tech rep that handles all that and it was an automatic load via the server. > Clean install? > > 2003 [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >> > or > >> > last name only? Thanks. Great. I haven't seen this one since IMO mode. You sure you never had IMO mode on this partition? I can't reproduce this behavior in my installation of Outlook 2003.

I do not know what IMO Mode is. For your additional information, my contact info in the name field would be: John Q. Doe, CPA. It will default the search to CPA even when I change the file as field to Doe, John Q. Thanks. > Great. I haven't seen this one since IMO mode. You sure you never had IMO > mode on this partition?

It was the last version of Outlook where I could reproduce this behavior. Now your story is changing. I thought you were talking about DL's. So what do you mean by "default the search?"

I cannot reproduce this behavior in Outlook 2003, but am aware of no solutions for the problem when it occurred in earlier versions.
