When I have several emails queued up in the outbox, they are all time and
date stamped with the time that I clicked on the send button.

If I go into the outbox and then click on the send/receive button, they are
sent in reverse order, i.e. last ones first.

Is there any way to send them out in the order that I composed them?

It doesn't matter whether I sort them by date and time in reverse or normal
order (I think that is just for display purposes only).

Example :-
Email 1 sent at 15:37
Email 2 sent at 15:39
I click send/receive and email 2 is sent first, then email 1.

When I send the emails as above to myself, they are received in the order of
email2 first, then email1.

Since email is not an instant method of communication, why should you be
concerned?

Because, if you are sending more than one email to the same person and you
say something like, "I have explained this further in the next email", or
there is time critical information in them both, then it looks stupid if they
arrive in the wrong order.

Is this just my configuration, or is this a know problem/feature?

If the info is time critical you should be using some other form of
communication, email is not an instant comms media

Do you have many more helpful gems?

Sure an email process, eg sending, is considered successfull if it is
delivered within 72 hours
Or to satisfy yourself research the subject

This is always a possibility even if it was send in the correct order and
isn't Outlook specific either. There can always be a difference in the
processing time of 2 emails which are send around the same time. Now more
than ever actually with mail filters and mail server redundancy. Especially
with Yahoo mail I see a notable difference when an email can be received a
few hours later than an email which has been actually send a few minutes
later than the first. The same is true when a mail server is encountering
some downtime and the mails are later still delivered via the MX backup.

Personally I don't sort on the "Received" time but on the "Sent" time to
counter these sorting issues.

To answer your question more directly; no, there is no way you can change
the processing order in Outlook 2003 of queued emails in the Outbox other
than setting a specific "do not deliver before" time which is earlier or
later than another queued email.
