Outlook randomly changing sort order of Inbox

[Jason]

Hi all -

One of my users has a strange Outlook issue - the sort order of his Inbox
keeps randomly changing. The "From" column disappears and is replaced by the
"To" column.

This is naturally very annoying to him, as the only way to reverse the
effect is to customize the view and remove the From column, add the To
column, and resort by Date Received.

Any ideas? Alternatively I'd love to find a reg hack that keeps it from
changing.
