MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2004sort question
Outlook 2003 (business manager NOT installed) I have a rather large contact list, I was having problems with an SBE error and did a fix described by a Microsoft KB article. I exported my contacts to a cvs file the deleted my contacts and imported them. All works fine other than now I can't figure out how to sort my contacts by company name if there is a company name. I can get them sorted by first, last or last, first without problem. I can change each one manually but that will take forever. Is there a way to make them show up (sort) by company name all at once? TIA Brian Only if you have configured the File As field to show the company. Did you?

So you will only be able to sort by the Company name if you configured the File As.. field to include the Company name.

That preference will not apply to existing Contacts. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > I have it set to Company (Last, First) > will that sort what's already there or only any new contacts?

I understand all New Contacts will be as I like, but I have lots that were imported that are now listed Last then First. Thanks, Frank > Only on new Contacts.

Take a look at this MS KB article, it may help: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q291/1/44.asp SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Hi, > So how can I reconfigure all my contacts to be filed as First then Last name [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > > > > > > > TIA > > > > > > > Brian |
