Sort Notes mail by last name?

Happy Thanksgiving!  Loads to be thankfulfor this year.  Take a short break from blogging about the new iMacand get back to Notes.Overnight, I received two e-mails withend-user questions/comments/observations about Lotus Notes.  We'lltake the first one now, which came from an end-user at a Large AutomotiveCompany.  She asks, "Is there a way to sort my Notes mail bylast name?"It's been a while since I was askedthis question.  It has been so long since I set up a brand-new Notesenvironment, I've forgotten what sorting configurations exist in the DominoDirectory, and whether end-users can view things differently.  Rememberthat this is an end-user question, so opening the mail template in DominoDesigner won't be an option.  Still, I'm sure it's not a unique questionand that some of you have addressed it before.  Any thoughts?  I'mnot sure yet what version of Notes is being used...does that matter? (It'sat least R5, but I think may now be 6.x).
