I have OL 2002 and when I do this, it groups them by
subject, but it doesn't ignore the RE:, they are grouped as
a separate subject. What am I doing wrong?

Subject: [mso] Sorting posts by subject - solution
Hi folks...
Yeah, I've been very busy rolling out a client upgrade and
doing training...as well as trying to get a grip on being a
road warrior after two years of sitting on my butt while
directing tech traffic!<g> So it's been an adventure!
Anyway...I was just sorting the tons of posts from this week
in Outlook...when it dawned on me that I was doing something
that I believe someone had once asked about. Don't know if
there was ever an answer...so here's one.
Problem:
If you attempt to sort all the posts in Outlook (or any
email) by SUBJECT by clicking on the subject column button
at the top of via the View ....(depending on version, next
menu)...Sort/by Subject...they will get mixed up cos' an
email with the subject of:
My Problem
...will not be sorted in the same alpha order as one with
the subject of
RE: My Problem
To fix this...click View (versions have different items
here, I believe)...but move to the CUSTOM view. Then click
on GROUP and GROUP by Subject...rather than using the group
default of auto group and then using SORT by subject.
When you GROUP them...the one with and without the RE and
FORWARD are ignored and the subject text itself will be
grouped. This will help you keep the question with the
subsequent answers.
Hope this helps someone out there!
Cheers...
