I'm using Outlook Express 6 and have my main identity contacts from my address book in alphabetical order. Within this contact list is a group. Is there a way to arrange the names within the subgroup in alphabetical order as well so that when I open up the properties window to edit this list, I can find the names more easily? They don't seem to be arranged in any particular order.

In your Address Book, Select View, Folders and Groups.

Select the Group you want to view and click on the Name field Header to alphabetize the names.

Thank you, but that doesn't work. My contacts ARE listed in alphabetical order. One of the contacts is a subgroup--listed in alphabetical order. The problem is that I want to open up that subgroup and have the contacts in it also listed in alphabetical order. However, opening it takes me to a Properties dialogue box, and I don't see any way to have alphabetical order as an option. There is no View menu in that box.

K. I just did that too. The contacts in the subgroup will show up in the order you added them to the list orginally.

I figured it out. Apparently they were being listed in alphabetical order--but by first name, and any titles before the first name were considered first names. I removed the titles, so at least now I can find them by searching for first names.
