Can I sort contacts grouped by category keeping the grouping

[Guest]

I am using Outlook 2003, I have my contacts categorized and I group them by
category. In Outlook 2002, I used to be able to keep that format and sort by
hitting Company or File As tab on the header of the contacts folder to sort.
In Outlook 2003, it changes the view completely to one setup for view by
Company, etc. Is there a way to just have it sort?

Mmm well. You've found my favourite weird 2003 behaviour.

Here's the solution:

Sort first, then Group. That means you need to use the Group By Box and drag
Category into it ONCE you have sorted on the field you want them sorted by.
