Calendar View - Birthdays Rotating

[Jack Pohler]

In my Entourage Calendar, I've set up a category for Birthdays that I'd like
to track. I've set up a calendar view that allows me to see the birthdays
in a list. What I was trying to do and was unable to, was to always have
the next birthday at the top of the list. I could search in various ways,
but could never get all the birthdays to show in chronological order
beginning from today.

Has anyone done this and be willing to share how they did it?

AFAIK, this has never come up. I just set in the contact's Personal info to
add it to the calendar and have it remind me.

In the Address Book, you can add a column for Birthday, but it does not sort
by any sort of chronological order. You might consider adding a custom field
and add this custom field to sort.

Menu bar --> View --> Columns --> Birthdays or Custom

Sort by your Birthday Category first then toggle your column with info, or
create a custom view in the Address Book to show this info.
