How do I date sort tasks in personal folders view in Outlook?

[cyrusg]

In task pane I can sort by date. In Personal Folders pane, where calendar,
tasks, and messages are seen, the tasks always re-appear with oldest date
first and I want earliest date first.

I do click on the date column header but it still doesn't seem to list my
earliest tasks first. What am I doing wrong?

I suspect you may be asking about Outlook Today (the summary web page).
Try clicking "Customize Outlook Today" in the top right and see if you see
what you need.

I am referring to Personal Folders--Outlook Today. When I go there (by
clicking mail tab in navigation pane) I continue to find tasks listed latest
first and I want earliest first. - I can and do do sort by date the way I
want in task pane, but still, when I go to Personal Folders -- Outlook Today,
it still comes up backwards = latest first. -- How can I explain this better?

Ben:
Thanks for your patience. I must be missing something obvious... How do I
find "Customize Outlook Today"? The rest of what I want to say is the same as
already posted.

Aha! Suddenly I found it, there on the upper right in the black line. I
clicked it and changed the order to what I want. Hooray! Thanks for your help.
