How do I sort distribution lists in contacts in outlook
My distribution lists show up before the alpha sorting of my contacts, but
they are not in any particular order that I can see. I want to sort them alphabetically also. Is there a way?

How do I sort distribution lists in contacts in outlook
Yes, I'm sure.
I created, for example, distribution lists titled: Logicalis Invoice Intercall Third Floor IT and that is how they are sorted. I did not create them in that order and they are not aphabetical, so I am stumped! "Brian Tillman" wrote: L.

How do I sort distribution lists in contacts in outlook
Office 2003 and address card view. Also, my fields a company, full name,
mailing address, etc. and the sort is company, last name. If that helps . . .. Thanks so much! "Brian Tillman" wrote: L. Lilja wrote: Yes, I'm sure.

I tested this and what I see is all my DLs in the order in which they were created, all the contacts that have no company field sorted by last name, then all the contacts that do have company fields, sorted by company first, then last name within the company. -- Brian Tillman

How do I sort distribution lists in contacts in outlook
Thanks for the info. That is the problem, though. I would like to have the
DL's in alpha order, not the order in which I created them. Any thoughts? "Brian Tillman" wrote: L. Lilja wrote: Office 2003 and address card view.

If you are using Address Card view, set their File As... field correctly.

You're sorting on Company and Last Name, neither of which your DLs have. What would you have Outlook do? It's like someone asking you to sort books using the English alphabet when the titles contain only cyrillic characters. Try adding a third item to the sort: "File As". Sort first by Company, then by Last Name, then by File As. Your DLs will still be at the front of the list, but they'll be alphabetical. -- Brian Tillman
