XCLN: Views: Group By and Sort Have Same Property Values

 Last reviewed: April 21, 1997
Article ID: Q146989
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client, version 4.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When creating a new view for a folder, Exchange will not allow you to create a Sort By criteria on a column already defined in the Group By dialog box. Attempting to do so returns the following error: 

   The grouping you specified is not valid. You cannot sort on a property
   that you are using to group by.
Completely removing the column that is currently defined by a valid Sort By criteria causes the Sort By dialog box to be populated with another column defined in your Group By dialog box. This, in effect, contradicts the previous error message because it defines a Sort By property that you are using to group by. No error message is returned.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange version 4.0 Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Windows NT clients. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
