Outlook 2007 view sort

[rapide]

Hi, I have a XP SP2 system installed with Office Enterprise 2007 and running
OUtlook 2007.

Here is my observation. I have a folder with a list of multiple emails. In
"Message" view that is NOT grouped, i clicked on the received date header to
sort a list of emails by received date. I then select a particular email from
the long list with a particular subject. I then click on the "subject" tab to
sort it by subject.

The issue is that the previous email item i selected is lost and my
selection now becomes whatever the email at the top of the subject list. This
issue seems to occur randomly. A faster way to duplicate this issue is
increase the sort frequency by click "received" and "subject" vice-versa
multiple times. After a few rounds, the selection now becomes lost as
described.

How can i remain my selection at my chosen previous subject? Email me for
more details.

thx.
Kenny

this is exactly similar to below reported. Is someone from MSFT seriously
looking into this?

===================
Hello,

When trying to sort by: from field, some times instead of being sort by the
user/email selected, the sort is done from alphabet order and the user
selection is missed

E.g.

Mail from (e-mail address removed)
Mail from (e-mail address removed)
Mail from (e-mail address removed)
Mail from (e-mail address removed)
Mail from (e-mail address removed)
Mail from (e-mail address removed)
Mail from (e-mail address removed)
Mail from (e-mail address removed)


You select (e-mail address removed) and then sort and instead of the cursor being in
(e-mail address removed), the selection is transfer to (e-mail address removed)

Anyone seen this behaviour?

I actually can't reproduce this. Have you considered contacting Microsoft?

Since the issue is observed on thinkpad T41 noteboook, i've been trying a few
things.

1. same winXP SP2 configuration but on a different hardware: G965 desktop,
Core2Duo CPU, 1GB RAM ==> no issues.
2. tried disabling cleartype on notebook coz it looked to me system was
taking a fraction of a second more to load the reading pane ==> same issue
3. disabled reading pane on notebook since it looked to me that I could
re-select the previous msg fast enough it could "stick" to it ==> same issue.
4. selecting auto-groups on notebook ==> same issue but less occurence
frequency

lost and pulling out my hair..
