Until today, my contacts were sorted by catagories. They no longer are and I
receive a message that you cannot sort by this field. What happened?

Russ Valentine said:You are mistaken. Contacts can never be sorted by Category.
Russ Valentine said:Nope. Look at the Header. See the arrow next to the label? You are
grouping by Category. The toggle simply changes between ascending and
descending order among the groups.
You can set a sort order within each group, but you cannot sort the view
by Category.

Gordon said:So when I click on the "Category" column header in the Contacts by
Category view and it changes the alphabetical order of Categories from
A-Z to Z-A that's NOT sorting?

Asking a question?
Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)
Russ Valentine said:You are mistaken. Contacts can never be sorted by Category. Category sort
is meaningless since any contact may be listed
under multiple categories.
State what isn't happening that you think should. Specify the view and its
settings.
Are you confusing sorting with grouping?

Just check your current view setting.

PapaFrank said:Well excuse me!
On My Computer using OUTLOOK 2007
I do not care about the build or the SP or anything else.
When I go to View-Current- View-BY CATEGORY
I see a list of my contacts They are ARRANGED by Category.
If you do not consider this sorted then you must follow the Bill Clinton
School of Epistomolgy.
I turn to the groups for support. And I am very Dismayed by the Freakin
attitude taken on by the MVP's in their Hostile Attitude and Snide
snippetts.
Sorry But enough is enough!
