Default Sort contacts in expanding category windows

my contacts used to be shown in categories that I could expand by clicking
the '+' sign or collapsing by clicking the '-' button. However I clicked
'file as' which is on the top of a column and now I cannot get it back to the
original display mode that i prefer. I have tried clicking the 'sort by
categories' option but this does not work. At the moment I have just one long
list of contracts.!!!

State the view to which you are referring.
State your Outlook version.
State more clearly what you want to do.

Default Sort contacts in expanding category windows

I'm using outlook 2003,
I am viewing my contacts by name full name first.
I have a number of categories i.e 'personal', 'Business', e.t.c in these
categories I have a number of contacts, those listed as 'personal' or
'Business' are to be found in these expandable /collapsible groups. However
I recently clicked the top of the column marked 'file as' and now everything
is mixed up and I cannot put it back to the original way as mentioned above

You still failed to state the view you are using.
Why not just use the "By Category" view?
