Any data that you view in a list within OfficeTalk may be grouped in a variety of ways. Grouping is similar to sorting except that header lines are inserted into the appropriate places in the list.
For example, you may wish to group your Incoming Mail folder by Sender. This will display all mail sent from a particular person grouped together shown underneath an appropriate group heading. The result is shown below:
You can group a list by a particular column simply by clicking on the column using the left mouse button whilst keeping the Shift key depressed. Clicking on the Sender column within Mail mode whilst depressing the Shift key will achieve a result similar to that shown in the picture above. The list is grouped in an ascending fashion. Data may be grouped in a descending fashion by clicking again on the relevant header whilst keeping the Shift key depressed.
If you wish to group by a column which is not displayed in the list then this is possible by using the Group dialog box. You can show the Group dialog box by clicking the right mouse button anywhere inside the list and selecting Group… from the context sensitive menu.
Choose a column by which to group the list by selecting a column from the drop down list in the dialog box. Choose whether to sort ascending or sort descending by selecting the relevant radio button next to the drop down list.
