Categories in Contacts
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!??

G'day
can I ask: why does it matter? How are you using Categories that the order they show is important?

Thanks for your response Judy,..... obviously it does matter to me and I'm
not going to go into why, but I wouldn't have bothered posting if it didn't. This is my first experience using a site like this for help and I'm disapointed that my first reply is someone who isn't really interested in helping me.

I didn't deserve that blast from you TJ Colony. I am interested in helping
you but you are making that difficult. If you don't go into why you are trying to use a certain method to do something in Outlook, and we can't see what you are doing, how can anyone suggest a more effective method?

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.

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).

Outlook cannot sort by categories, instead you need to group by categories and sort that. You might try this: create a search folder for "leasing", then group the view by categories, which would also list "San Diego". Additionally you might add a filter to the search folder, so that it displays only items that belong to both categories. BTW: Sometimes, e.g. if a question isn't clear, it's useful to ask for the why, as it migth help to understand your intention and what you really want to achieve. That shouldn't upset you; from the ones who don't want to help you you wouldn't get any answer at all. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : VBOffice Reporter for Data Analysis & Reporting : Outlook Categories?

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. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : VBOffice Reporter for Data Analysis & Reporting : Outlook Categories?

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.
