How to sort all folders by the same criteria

[Nih]

One of my users has a lot of sub folders in Outlook 2007 and wants to be able
to change the sorting of all of them at the same time. For example he wants
all of his folders to be sorted by date rather than by subject. Is there a
way to globally set sort options for all folders in Outlook 2007?

thanks

Use the method here:

but change the sort order rather than grouping.

Thanks, I tried that before and the sort order will not carry over to the
other folders, it only affects the one I am in when I go into the setup.
Grouping however does follow over to all the other subfolders.

sort order should carry over as well. Try making a new view and applying it
to the folders - its a little more work since you need to apply it to each
folder though.
