MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2006How do I sort contacts alphabetically by company?
I know how to do it in theory, I've followed the instructions, but it comes out chaotic looking and on 2 lines and not alphabetical. I just want a straightforward, one-line/person, list of my contacts alphabetized by company that looks like the phone list. Help! Display the phone list view and click on the Company column heading.

I guess what I didn't realize is that when you double click on "company"--the company names show up under the "File As" column in the middle, instead of the "Full Name" column at the beginning, right? Which I think is weird, b/c why doesn't Outlook just keep it all under the heading "Company," I mean that's what it is, right?? and move it to the FIRST column--because after all, that's what I'm sorting by. Unless there is something I don't understand... > Display the phone list view and click on the Company column heading. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > that looks like the phone list. > > Help! Outlook doesn't change a column's position just because you sort by it, just as Excel doesn't change the position of columns in a worksheet if you sort by one column. If you're seeing company names in File As, that's because you chose to put them here. Full Name is the contact's First and Last name, by default (although you can make it be anything else).
