Is there a to filter/sort for questions that I have previously asked in this
dicussion group?
 
For the web interface from Microsoft? I don't think you can unless you sign
up for notifications for those threads.
If you are posting a lot, it probably might be better to use a news client
such as Windows Live Mail to follow this newsgroup which give you excellent
filtering possibilities. You'll find the entries for accessing this
newsgroup via a news client here;

Web Interface meaning the one we are discussion on now? Yes, I did ask for
notification. I am not posting a lot just looking for a couple specific ones
and I cant remember the subject line. I went to the website you suggested
and when I click web it looks like the discusson group and I do not see a way
to sort. Am I misunderstanding?
 
There are multiple entry points to this newsgroup. I use a news reader. The
same content is also visible via the website you are using. On the website I
gave you, click on the "newsreader" link to open this newsgroup in your
default newsreader.

Configure the properties of the news account with the same email address as
you use here and you should be able to filter out your posts. For Windows
Live Mail and Outlook Express you can use CTRL+H to toggle these views.

Nope, you are not misunderstanding. You are now understanding the
limitations of using a webnews gateway to Usenet.

Using an NNTP Newsreader
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/guide/nntpnews.mspx

The article still mentions using Outlook Express despite that it is a
long dead product. Windows Mail (in Vista), Windows Live Mail (the
replacement for OE and Windows Mail), Thunderbird, Xnews, Dialog, Forte,
and many other NNTP clients can be used to connect to any NNTP servers,
not just Microsoft's.
 
try searching for your user name at either the web interface or at google -
any of the forums that republish the newsgroups should have all of your
recent posts. (http://forums.slipstick.com/search.php?searchid=1683)

(The web interface is messed up recently so the search may fail.)
