XCLN: Column Order Changed After Group By Operation

ID: Q146881

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0
Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

In the Microsoft Exchange client, the column order is not retained and will be altered after you apply a Group By condition and remove the Group By condition.

CAUSE

This is by design. Microsoft Exchange does not store the view that you were using before you did a Group By, so it can not restore the column order.

The default is to put the column that you were grouping by as the first column with a column width of 1 character.
