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?

This is a deal breaker for me. Super disappointed that Microsoft missed this feature.
Yep - same for me this is a deal breaker - I use it all day everyday - so much easier for finding things - please bring it back!
I have dropped the new version as well. This functionality is imperative for me. I work in an international company with a lot of names I'm not familiar with spelling. I often have to sort by letter because I would not be able to remember how to spell the name in the search bar.
Please do. This is a MAJOR rollback of functionality as far as I am concerned. Just dropped the new version (after telling why) - hope somebody re-implements this. Easy is better.
Same issue here! my mails via the new outlook have been so difficult to navigate without the sort -then jump to function. Microsoft, can you please put it back ASAP!
