I want to be able to sort by categories in Outlook instead of having to copy
contacts into Business Contact Manager. I manage memberships of a non-profit
professional organization w/membership under 100 people. The information
fields in Outlook are more useful than in Contact Manager for my needs.
Having to maintain records in both Contacts and Business Contacts is an
unnecessary duplication of records and some of the information in Outlook
fields (birthdates, etc) is more useful than the Business Contact Mgr and
most fields in Business Contact Mgr are wasted for my needs

So, what problems are you encountering in using categories? Note that you can't sort, because Categories is a multi-valued field, which makes a sort meaningless. Use grouping instead.
