Hi,

When categories are set in Contact forms, it seems that they are broken up
into multiple categorical segments. For example, if a Contact is part of the
"test1" and "test2" categories, it will be listed under both categories when
sorted via category. Instead of being sorted under both, is there a way to
have one category named, for example, "test1 and test2," in which the form is
only listed under one instead of multiple categories?

Thanks.

Outlook cannot sort by category, because Categories is a multi-valued (keyword) field. Instead, Outlook groups by categories.

If you want a category named "test1 and test2," you would have to create a category with that literal name. Maybe what you really want is not to group but to filter?
