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?

    Sounds like unless there is an open case, posting here will not get any attention. Does anyone have an open case with Microsoft on this issue?

    After reading 2 years of comments and feedback and still no fix, this is crazy. I too will be moving back to the older Outlook version until this is fixed.

    Exactly! I've been posting and posting about this on different forums and EVERYone agrees. Yes there are some dumb and convoluted workarounds, obviously I can scroll for days and find what I need, but to have no update or response from Microsoft is sad.
