Microsoft Office 2007 Professional How to sort by

One of the powerful things that Outlook can do is help you arrange your data in interesting ways. Outlook's Field Chooser is a great tool that helps you to add any Outlook field to your view, which you can then use to sort your data. Here;s an example involving contacts.  Suppose you meet a new friend and add them to your Outlook contacts. A week later, you are throwing a party and you want to invite them, but you can;t remember their name! But since you know you just added them to your contacts, all you need to do is find the last person you added. You can do this by adding the “Created” field using the Field Chooser and then sorting by it. Here are some more detailed steps for using the Field Chooser: 1. Change your view to a table view by clicking on “Phone List” (By Category, By Company, and By Location also work if you prefer those views.)
2. Next, right click on the header at the top of the list and then click on “Field Chooser” 3. In the Field Chooser dialog, click on the drop down at the top and select “All Contact Fields.” (This will require scrolling)        4. Next, scroll down and select the “Created” field and drag “Created” to the header to add the field to the view. 5. Now you can just click on “Created” to sort by this field.
As you can see, Amanda was the last contact added. Now she can be invited to the party,Microsoft Office 2007 Professional! And to get rid of a field from the view, just drag it off and let go.

(dragging the "Created" field off)
(after) This technique can be used to add and remove any of your favorite fields to the view. Thanks, Melissa MacBeth
