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

    Why would MS remove THE most widely used feature???? Did someone leave this out of development by mistake? I honestly don't know if I can keep using Outlook without this feature. Seriously, why was it removed???? Can someone from MS answer why it was removed???????????????? and not some corporate BS excuse, like actually why was it removed?

    This ridiculous that Microsoft doesn't care for months to fix small damn thing making users to switch back to classic versions. Simply, UNBELIEVABLE! Very frustrating!

    @Microsoft!! Hearing this at all?

    Any news about this setting?

    I find way very difficult to replace this feature.

    I push right button and go for "find related". Then I have option to see only from this person or from this topic.

    I try to put as shortcut and didn´t find a way. Very difficult this manner.

    Hi everyone following this thread - It looks like there are over 100 people following this question in the feedback community but hardly any votes for this issue to be prioritized in the feedback portal. Consider going there: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/ then typing "Outlook sort by name" in the search bar and voting for the few posts there.

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS so very frustrating not to have this feature that I use every day multiple times a day based on muscle memory. This is not people clinging to some old outdated way of doing things. This will be a reason I will refuse to migrate to the new and not use all the other things that are improvements because this one thing throws so many roadblocks into my daily functions. Please fix.
