Outlook sort by name, but can't jump to name

I just tried the NEW outlook.

I can sort by names A-Z, but then I have to scroll to find the person.

The old outlook, I could just type the first letter and it would jump to that name.

Is there a setting in the new outlook that allows you to jump to the letter when typed?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

    I'm reading this thread with exactly the same issue, a year later and it still has not been addressed? Or has it and I missed the solution>

    We're seriously considering switching across to Google Workspace. It's issues like these that just frustrate our users endlessly. A key feature, literally used daily, and it's simply dropped from the new client. And not only that, despite repeated requests for its inclusion, this is ignored for over a year. Microsft, stop being product led and start trying to be more customer led please! People don't necessarily want new features, they just want the existing ones to work well.

    This is a problem for us too. We're not switching to the new Outlook.

    Unbelievable and super frustrating! If someone has access to the Microsoft Team, can they relay this feedback. Don't fix SOMETHING that is not BROKEN.
