Changing the way Outlook displays it's address book columns.

I see this question pop up on the internal and external aliases a lot so I thought I would blog on it.

Question: Is there anyway to change the order and what columns in Outlook 2003 or 2007s address book? The default display shows the following: (Name, Business Phone, Office Title, Company, Alias, E-mail Type, E-mail Address) and for some companies this is not very useful for us when looking up users on the GAL.

The answer to this is question is no. This is by default and can not be changed.

  So the next question is: why? This is a feature that has been requested by many people... It can't be that difficult to implement... Christian
