About right-to-left sort order

The feature described in this Help topic may only be available if support for a right-to-left language, such as Arabic, is enabled through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

In addition, to use right-to-left features, you must be running a 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system that has right-to-left support — for example, the Arabic version of Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition or any language version of Microsoft Windows 2000.

Right-to-left sort order is applied wherever possible. This applies to data lists in table view, card view, and icon view, and to group-by lists, contact lists, folder lists, and address lists.

Note   Some server-side views might not sort data according to right-to-left sort order because they follow supported server-side sort orders.
