Rule to run all rules?

Is it possible to create a rule to run all rules at a set time?

I have approximately 10 email rules that I currently run manually once each
day. I would like to be able to set my Outlook to automatically run all of
these rules at the end or beginning of each business day to automatically
sort messages that have arrived in my Inbox.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Sorting is accomplished in the settings for the view of a folder, not by
a rule. There are no clauses in rules to do sorting. Even if they did,
they wouldn't override the sorting that you specified in the view of a
folder. Rules are exercised against each e-mail, not against the
configuration of Outlook.

Vanguard, I hate to be the pedantic spoilsport, but there's more than one
meaning to the word 'sort' and I think you're going with the wrong one.

cgrucelski, There isn't directly a way. I *think* you could use VBA to
fire off rules, and use the /autorun switch to fire off the VBA code you
write, but I've heard mixed comments about whether autorun works well
enough.
