Default Categories in Contacts



Outlook cannot sort by categories, instead you need to group by categories
and sort that.

You might try this: create a search folder for "leasing", then group the
view by categories, which would also list "San Diego". Additionally you
might add a filter to the search folder, so that it displays only items that
belong to both categories.

BTW: Sometimes, e.g. if a question isn't clear, it's useful to ask for the
why, as it migth help to understand your intention and what you really want
to achieve. That shouldn't upset you; from the ones who don't want to help
you you wouldn't get any answer at all.

Michael...are you able to sort by more than one category? We're using it

to
asign job titles and areas to brokers we work with. We'd like to be able

to
pull all "leasing" brokers in "San Diego" (two seperate categories).

If you use the Categorizer of Outlook, it sorts the categories
alphabetically. Here's a list of how it's sorted:

If you want to have the categories listed in the order they were added,

you
may use Category Manager, and use it's sidebar to categorize your items.

I'm wondering if someone can tell me what the logic is behind how

categories
are listed within a contact. I've tried adding them in a different

order
and
I can't figure out why they list in the order they do...it is NOT
alphabetical!??
