Moderated Re: Sorting Outlook Messages By Date

Bill:

 

I just tried this, and now, the message at the top of my inbox list view says “group by expanded date none expanded.

 

Again, I’m not sure what this means, since my messages are arranged chronologically by date and the dates for each message are spoken.  The messages are just not separated by date, which is supposed to be possible with the latest Jaws 2020 update which I just installed last night.

Hi, Takis. Sort by date is not a toggle. To reenable sorting by date, it is,

 

ALT plus V, followed by A, B, D.

Hi Tom/all,

A quick way of doing that, courtesy of one of our members, is: Within outlook and ribbons unchecked: alt-v, a, b, w. I wanted the reverse, i.e. abolish the grouping announcement, however the command is a toggle I think. So Tom, just give it a chance and I believe this is what you need.

Hello, everyone.

 

I just installed the latest Jaws 2020 update on this Windows 10 computer.

 

I’m using Outlook e-mail in Microsoft 365.

 

In the list of improvements with this update, I know Jaws will now group messages according to date, which could be quite convenient when sorting through a large folder list view.

 

Here’s what the update notes say:

 

“JAWS can now indicate group changes, such as dates or conversations, as you navigate through message lists. For example, if your Outlook view settings
are set to show messages by date and you are navigating a folder containing messages covering multiple days, when you move to the first message in the
new date group, you will hear announcements such as "today," "yesterday," "last week," or "two weeks ago." To turn on this feature, open Quick Settings
(INSERT+V) while in Outlook and select the Announce Group Change in Lists check box.”

 

I checked the “announce group change” option, but my messages still do not appear to be grouped by date.

 

Am I missing a step here?

 

Thanks!

 

Tom Behler
