MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / June 2006Custom fields to sort by?
Hello, I'm now to Outlook 2003. I want to sort my contacts by First Last (Company), but the only options given are: • First Last • Last, First • Company • Last, First (Company) • Company (Last, First) Is there a way to customise these? Thanks, Mark You're not talking about actual sorting are you, but about setting the default File As formula?

In Outlook, under Contacts, Current View - Address cards. You can change the sort order in View | Arrange By | Current View | Customize Current View | Sort. Since there are four levels available, sort by First Name, Last Name, Company.

That works when viewing by category, but not as Address cards. Is there a way to do it for Address cards, too? > You can change the sort order in View | Arrange By | Current View | Customize Current View | Sort. Since there are four levels available, sort by First Name, Last Name, Company. It should work for address cards, too. Make sure you're customizing the right view or define a new view.
