Outlook "Arrange By" option does not retain its setting

[Rob]

In outlook 2007, I use a custom view for my inbox, and I have the Group By
option checked to"Automatically group according to arrangement."

This has been workn flawlessly until today, when I realized Outlook did not
like a particular mouse click; perhaps I clicked on the border of two options
or some other anomoly that caused the window toflash once. The end result
was that my Arrange By option changed to "From" when I had previously set it
to "Conversation." Now, whenever I hange it backto "Conversation," leave the
inbox and come back, ithas returnd to "From." I have gone through every
setting I could fid nd rebuilt the customer view, but still no luck.

Have you tried resetting the view for the folder already?
View-> Arrange By-> Custom...-> button Reset Current View

If that doesn't work either, then you might have to reset all your view in
Outlook by starting Outlook with the /cleanviews switch;
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /cleanviews
(note the space in the command)
