Yes, that is what I tried, (I think). In the "Current View" menu I checked
the "Sort by Category" option (in the vertical, not drop down, menu) however
it does not sort. The categoris are listed but they are mixed up. THEN I
click on the horizontal bar menu aacross the top of the page (also containing
Full Name, Company, File as etc...) and I get a pop up informing me "You
cannot sort by this field"

sigh

Thanks
