MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2007Is there a way to alphabetize categories
Outlook 2003: Is there a way to alphabetize categories for my contacts. I have a lot of contacts and want to list the names in each category alphabetically. I can't find a work around. Would appreciate any assistance with this dilema. Thanks. yep. What happened in 2003 is a shame, but when you sort a column, it drops out your grouping. So here's the workaround. Use the Phone List View or By Category View Click the name field column header to sort by it. Turn on the Group By Box (on the Advanced Toolbar). Drag the column header Categories into the Group By Box. So now it's sorted by name and grouped By Category. I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
