Re: Can I sort within a sort, in folder view (eg., Name, Date)

Can anyone get the Sent Items folder to sort by To and then Date?

On my system, it appears that the method described by Ron below works on the
Inbox folder for From and Date but does not work in the Sent Items folder for
To and Date. Weird, eh?

Here are the steps to test it:

Display the Sent Items folder. Make sure To and Date (or Sent) columns are
showing. Arrange the Date (or Sent) column immediately after the To column.
Click on the header of the To column (this should cause the column to be
sorted by 'To'). Find someone to whom you've sent many emails and examine
whether the Date (or Sent) fields for that person are in date sequence. For
me, the dates aren't in sequence.

However, if I display the Inbox and do the above with the From and Date
columns, it works.

Anyone else seeing this?

Versions = WLM 12.0.1606 on Vista Home Premium
