Default How do I sort contact folders

I have all my contacts in Outlook and added new contacts; I need to sort them
by company from A to Z. Is there a way to sort them instead of moving them
up one at a time?

Perhaps. Hard to say without knowing your Outlook version or the view in
which you are trying to sort.

Turn on the Advanced Toolbar and use the Group By box, Field Chooser and
play around with ways of viewing your Contacts. Phone List view gives you a
basic table and is thus a good starting point.

I think you're in By Category View and from your description have 2003 with
the Arrange by... Show in Groups turned on. So what happens is that when
you click a column header to sort by it, 2003 in fact Groups By that column
( what you described as "moving them up one at a time").

If you have 2003, turn off the View | Arrange by .. | Show in Groups setting
and you may be much happier with what you see when you sort a column.

PLEASE at least post your version when you have a question.
