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

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.

But with the grouped search folder it should do what you need - at least for e-mails. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : VBOffice Reporter for Data Analysis & Reporting : Outlook Categories?

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). "Michael Bauer [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: If you use the Categorizer of Outlook, it sorts the categories alphabetically. Here's a list of how it's sorted: http://www.vboffice.net/workshop.htm...d=showitem#t12 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'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!??
