You can either use Advanced Find or change to the By Category View. (View |
Arrange By....)

(for snail mail) How to I pull up contacts by categories

Right-click on the contact-type folder, Advanced Find, More Choices tab.

The Categories column is probably already shown in the contact-type folder.
If not, right-click and use Field Chooser to add it (and drag to whatever
position you want). You can then click on the column header to sort which
would group together similar categoried contacts.

You could also edit the view for that folder to group (by categories).
Actually that should already be available just by using the view drop-down
listbox in the toolbar (i.e., By Category).
