Outlook should enable sorting by the To: / CC: / BCC: fields

[Guest]

Suggested sorting feature for Outlook........

Email etiquet suggests that if you are in the adressee field "To:" you are
expected to carry out an action as a result of the email. Inclusion in the
CC: and BCC: fields indicates that you have been provided the email for
information purposes only.

As I get hundreds of emails a day it would be extremely useful to sort by
whether I am in the To: field and focus on these actions first.

Would be huge help to me.

Technically, there is no BCC field on received messages - but the lack of
your address in the To or CC field indicates it was either BCCd to you or
may be from a mailing list. In any event, use autoformatting or flags to
mark items when you aren't included in the to or cc fields.

Dear Roady and Diane, I think it is not the point.
In stackoverflow.com/questions/3730970/issue-when-attempting-to-sort-recipients-in-to-field-in-outlook there is a macro that sorts your recipients when you are writing a your message.
You must enter it in Outlook after enabling Outlook developer's tab ( see msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb608625.aspx).
