Outlook 2003 SP2

What's the use of the "Category" field ?

I gave every contact a category but can not use this field in any useful
way.
Outlook help states that it can be used to sort and select contacts. But
that's it. No nothing on how Categories can be used.

Is there something wrong with my Outlook or is this one of the microsoft
bells and whistles ?

I am triyng to be polite here and trying hard not to start a rant. Always
found the Outlook contacts a disaster, made for geeks by geeks.

you can group or filter by category.
