Sort Order in Contacts
Is it possible to sort imported Contacts (IE6 .wab) by Last Name, First
Name? This is easily done in IE6 but I've not discovered the proper buttons to make it work in Vista's mailer. If this is possible, please advise me how. If it's not possible please fix it before RTM. Thanks,

Right click in the Contacts pane and choose Sort by and you can set it to
sort by Last Name. steve "TOF" wrote in message ... Is it possible to sort imported Contacts (IE6 .wab) by Last Name, First Name?

In order to get my OE6 imported .wab to sort on last name, I had to go into View (on the Main Menu bar. BTW, why two Views?), Choose Details, and move Last Name to the top of the list. Then choose list and sort by last name. Undoubtedly Microsoft considers this to be an improvement over the simple and accurate way used in OE. Thanks for the response.
