Default Sort alphabetically WITHIN categories

I'm so confused on how to sort contacts alphabetically when I choose to view
the contacts BY CATEGORY.

Once I choose to view contacts BY CATEGORY, then all the fields are across
the top (NAME, ADDRESS, CATEGORY, etc). I click on CATEGORY, which sorts the
CATEGORIES alphabetically, but the CONTACTS under each of the CATEGORIES is
NOT sorted alphabetically.

Help!

Your version I guess is 2003 and it's a PAIN at this function.

Here's the workaround:

sort by the name field first, then group by Category (manually) you do this
like this :

turn on the Advanced Toolbar
use the Group By box button on that tool bar
drag the Categories field (column header) into the grey group by box

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
