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?

    i don't have that option when i right click on any of the headers. It only give me >Sort ascending, >Sort descending and >Change the view.

    None of those bring me to an option menu

    They sure are. Mine's a trimmed down version of what I used at work for years. I used "jump to a name" feature many times every day - saves a lot of faffing about which is now what I spend my day doing with this new version. Sigh....
