Shift+Click adds an additional sort to the current view.

Also note: Item 6 is meaningless. The newsgroup interface you are using
apparently does not quote earlier messages in the thread, making your latest
message so short on detail that you risk not getting the answer you're
looking for. Please take the time to quote the original message.

Sue, I believe this issue is an unintended software glitch which was not a glitch in Outlook 2002. How do I contact the Microsoft folks to report this so hopefully they will fix it in an update patch? thanks

Hi Sue

Please pass this on to the "fix it" department. Again, the problem I have is that in Outlook, I use category view. Then I want to click on the header at the top of a column (such as "Company"). What should happen is that I still have Category view, and the "Company" column should then sort from A-Z. Instead, when I click on the header, it makes the category view dissapear completely and I am basically looking at a phone list that was sorted by Company... I have Outlook 2002 on another machine and it does not have this glitch. It does - correctly - keep the Category view and withing that view - it does sort the Company from A-Z. If this does not make complete sense - maybe I could talk to you or a programmer by phone. This glitch is so annoying that I may go back to Outlook 2002 just because of this problem... Otherwise I really like 2003..
Please advise,
thanks, stev

Try using Shift+Click, not CLick.

I have tried both. If I do the Shift+Click with only 1 column (lets say Company) - then this is fine. But later I may want to sort by Name only (in place of the Company sort). So I hit Shift+Click on the Name column. the problem is that the new sort does not replace the "Company" sort. Instead, it maintains the Company sort, and now it additionally sorts the Name column - based on the Company sort. But I dont want the Name sort to be based after the fact of the Company sort. I just want a new sort. So the long way to do this is every time I want a sort, I have to go to view, customize view, Sort - and delete all previous sorts. Then I could go back to the category view and do the Shift-Click one time. This is a very long process - since I am doing column sorts all day long. It slows down my work so much that I will have to go back to Outook 2002 if a fix is not made. Outlook 2002 did not have this error. It only sorts one column at a time - unrelated to the previous sorts - when I am clicking on the column header. I am not sure if this makes total sense or not. I still use Outlook 2002 on my older computer, and this is definitely only a a problem in 2003.

Yes, it's a known problem. The workaround, as you found, is to use View |
Arrange As | Current View | Customize Current View | Sort. Make it even
easier by customizing the toolbar to add the Sort command.
