Outlook 2003 - how do I change the search order preference?

[Guest]

When using the advanced search function, Outlook seems to search from oldest
to newest messages. Is there a simple way of changing this so it searches the
newest messages first?

In searches in folder name order. It would not know the datestamps until it
found any matching files. So the real question is how to SORT the list of
found files from newest to oldest. It's the same in most windows: click on
the header button to select that header as the primary sort field (and
clicking again will reverse the sort order).
