Contacts Flag Status
Why is Flag Status disabled sometime and enabled other time. I can't figure
why one way or another. When I have my contacts GroupedBy Category (friend, acquaintance, business etc.) and then Sorted by FileAs, the FlagStauts fails to open. When simply sorted (not Grouped), the FlagStatus open okay (but isn't easily useable because the category's aren't grouped). What switch am I missing? Thanks for your help!

Contacts Flag Status
In table view, either the FlagStatus dropdown is available or not (analogous
to a feature being greyed-out). (I am unable to paste here a small screenshot to illustrate; is there a way to do that?) When passing the cursor over the cell which is the FlagStatus field for any given record, the Dropdown either becomes evident or not. When the entire database is sorted by FileAs, for example, the dropdown is sometimes is available and sometimes not. Most annoying is that it has worked for before; I'm wondering what I have done to reset something or other by mistake. (With about 1600 contacts, I generally rely on Categories to narrow my search, then scanning by eye the FileAs field. Finding things without the first level sort (category) would be very difficult.)

This appears to correct the problem: Menu Bar: View | Arrange By | Custom |
Other Settings | Column Headings and Rows | Enable "Allow in-cell editing." Then, conform your other views. The Flag Status drop-down now appears.
