How do I sort on Date received ONLY?

[Guest]

I want to arrange my Outlook 2003 inbox by sender within date received. I
know how to sort by multiple columns, but how do I sort by ONLY the DATE part
of the "Received" column and then, within that, by "Sender"?

You can go to View in the menu bar, select Arrange By, and select From and
also select Show In Groups. This will group all your emails according to the
Sender and arrange them by date under each Sender.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately it did not address my issue. I
want to sort by date and then name of sender (name within date), but to do
that I have to strip the time out of the "received" column. That is the crux
of the issue.

Outlook provides no way to sort on just the date element, although Outlook
2003 nicely groups messages into Today, Yesterday, 2 Days Ago, Last Week,
etc.

To change your date format:
- right click on the column header
- select "Format Columns"
- click on the Format dropdown box
- select a different date display

However, sorting by multiple columns still sorts the date wrong.
When you click the "To" column to sort by name, then hold down the shift key
and click the 'Sent' date, the date is sorted wrong.

The date format required for proper sorting is 0 filled - 02/08/2005 -
otherwise 2/18/2005 comes before 2/8/2005.
