when i choose "by category" in the current view of contacts, i want to be
able to select any of the fields (ie. company, file name) at the top of the
preview list to sort by without loosing the category grouping.

State your Outlook version.

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.
