Children's names reordered

[Mike Massey]

When I enter a list of four kids for one family and click on save, OL changes the order of the kids. How do I make this stop. For example, I enter: "Rebecca, Anna, Sarah, and Lydia" click save, now I have "Anna, Rebecca, Sarah, and Lydia." Anna and Rebecca have changed places

Outlook puts them in alphabetical order. AFAIK, there's no way to change that behavior, which is built in for all keywords-type fields.

Sue,

If 'Lydia' is still last, then it's not alphabetical is it? If it was
ordering them alphabetically, Anna would be first, Lydia second, Rebecca
third and Sarah last.

Oh that is weird! I didn't read beyond Sarah. Not only does it not make sense, given that Children is a keywords field, but I cannot duplicate what you're seeing on either OUtlook 2002 SP2 or OUtlook 2003.
