I can set a Flag for a Contact, including a due date for that Flag.
However, short of opening the Contact, there is no way I can see to display
the due date. It would be great if I could include it on the folder view,
be able to filter / sort by it, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Diane,

One would think that would be the date field. However, it isn't. Give it a
shot. Create a flag on a contact and give it a Due By date. Then add that
field to your view, and it simply says "none".

Additional input would be muchly appreciated.

It works here. Use the Due By field from All Mail fields dropdown - the one
in appointments apparently is a different field (it might be the same as Due
Date used by tasks, it also shows none.)
