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?

    Agree, still using old Outlook until they make OWA better.

    Absolutely ridiculous that something as significant as this functionality for productivity was overlooked...and after this many responses for it still to not have been prioritized is amazing! Shame on you Microsoft...you need to do better!

    The fact that after all this time this still hasn't been added as a feature is quite disappointing. This is the main reason I still keep going back to classic Outlook. I use this feature constantly. Everyone at work comes to IT for help with it and is blown away when we tell them that feature went away.

    In Outlook 365, if you right click on someone's name, there is no choice of "advanced options." There is "advanced actions" and that offers to assign policy or create task.
