Default Categories in Contacts

Try this free add-on. I tried and I really like it and it can be shared.

I AM interested in helping you and now that you have explained what you are
trying to achieve I CAN help.

I suggest that rather than use Categories for every piece of data you want
to collect, you use Categories for a single key piece of data, in your case
"job titles" and then make a new field for their "area."

With this set up you can easilly group by Category and sub-group by Area.
Many of my clients have found this to be an effective solution to the exact
same situation you are in.

If you need help with either of the steps listed below, or any other aspect
of this, just come back, play nice and I WILL help you:

a) making a new field in your Contacts Folder
b) grouping manually by categroy and also by your Job Title field.

I forgot this one: No, you cannot group by categories more than once. But
with the grouped search folder it should do what you need - at least for
e-mails.

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.

For
details and a download see the link in my signature, please.

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!??
