Default Sorting Events By Label

I recently learned that Outlook 2003 has color-coded labels. I love that
feature! But what would make me a totally happy camper would be the ability
to actually SORT by the label assigned to each item. I primarily use All Day
Events that appear at the top of the Calendar, and use those instead of
Tasks (since I never look at the Task List). I would love to be able to sort
my Events by the label assigned to them. Any way to do that (apart from
placing a sorting letter at the beginning of each).

Thanks!

Neil

Default Sorting Events By Label

Outlook 2003 labels are not sortable (is that a real word?) However, Outlook 2007 assigns colors to categories by default and categories are sortable. The new version also offers more viewing options for your information, such as a unified mail, calendar and tasks/to do lists. Not sure how your scenario would play out in the new version.

There are 60 day trials available for download if you want to give it a whirl. Install it in a Virtual Drive if you don't want to mess up your main machine with a trial. Microsoft Virtual PC is available free from Microsoft Downloads.

Default Sorting Events By Label

this is in the day/week/month view? No, you can't do anything besides sort
them yourself using a letter.
