the bar is not useful as an indexer because the alphabet letters that
have the most names are lumped together (meaning the "a & b" index will have
50 names starting with "a" thereby rendering the index useless because you
have to page over 10 times to get to the "b" names. meanwhile "z" will have
none). most alphabetizers lump the obscure letters together for this reason,
i.e. "x, y, and z" are usually indexed together. the most popularly used
letters are usually indexed singly...

Perhaps you could clarify what you're talking about.
Try not to use meaningless terms like "the bar."
Try to include the precise view and Outlook version to which you are
referring.
I'm sure you know what you mean. But you have not conveyed it to anyone
else. Bear in mind, we are not there looking over your shoulder and we
cannot read minds.
