Sort email messages in Outlook 2007

[Guest]

In my Sent items, I can sort by anything except Sent date/time. When I am
sorted by something else, that column shows the dates and times. When I try
sorting by that column, everything else disappears, and the column shows None
for all items. I've worked around it by adding a Created column, but that's
not always going to work.

Sent should be the default with groups used.
Try resetting the view - View | Current View | Customize Current view ..
Reset Current View.

It seems that while all the rest of my programs have been updated to 2007,
for some reason my Outlook is still 2003 (who would have expected that).

I reset the view to original settings, and I still come up with the same
problem.

It's typical when installing Office. If Outlook already exists, a new
version won't install unless you specifically select it. Moreover, some
editions of Office don't include Outlook. Which edition do you have?

Outlook 2007 isn't included in many Office installations it was previously
in. Is it in yours?
try running outlook with the /cleanviews switch. Refer here:

It's a company computer, and therefore some lovely IT bods were responsible
for the installation. I'm not too concerned about not having the latest
Outlook, given that I wouldn't have any of 2007, if it were my choice.

I've tried the clean views, and it opened straight into the same problem.
