Change Contact sort order in Outlook July 24 2006
Q: How can I change the sort order for my contacts in Microsoft Outlook?
A: By default, Outlook will sort your contacts by Last Name, First Name fashion. If you want to organize your Contacts to be sorted in a different manner here’s how you do it:
In Outlook
1. View > Arrange By > Customize Current View...
2. Click the 'Sort...' button
-The Sort window appears
-In the 'Sort items' by field
3. Select 'Last Name'
-In the 'Then by' field
4. Select 'First Name'
5. Click 'OK'
-You may be asked if you want to display the Last Name and First Name fields.
6. Click 'NO' to each - this will keep your Contact View streamlined
7. Click 'OK' |
