Vista Tutorial - Printing a Contact Group - Windows Mail

I have several contact groups. When I open the group the members of the grop
appear in alpha order (whic is good). However, when I print the group by
clicking the printer icon, the group prints OK but the order is not alpha.
Somtimes it is last first (sort of), sometimes it is first name first
(maybe). It is not the order in which I added them to the group. I am at a
loss. If all my groups had only a few names I would not care but four or five
have a large number (60 to 135).

What I want to do is to print the e-mail contact group in alpha order. Can
anyone help??

I have spent hours reading the various threads, reading texts, etc.

I think about all you can do is export to a CSV file, open that in Excel,
then do your sorting and printing in Excel.

Gary,

Thank you for the reply, I have already tried that.

The method you suggest export all contacts, even if I highlight the members
of the group.

I want only the contact group.

I have the same problem with them printing out of order. But the real problem
is it prints only the names, and not the email addresses. Is there something
I'm missing here, or is this just one more thing Windows Mail is not capable
of doing? I'm replacing Windows Mail with Outlook, but since I can't export
the list to Outlook, I need to at least be able to print them out and
re-enter them.
