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

    So annoying when I sort a folder by "From" and instead of typing W in the top area to jump to the Williams, I now have to scroll for 5 minutes to get to the W's. OMG. None of these workarounds have helped for the new Outlook on a Mac. It's amazing how muscle memory really kicks in and can stall you from doing fast work and fast searches. Very frustrating!

    MS - please bring this back. I'm switching back to the classic version as this is an absolute timesaver.

    Quite annoying. To me this is a deal breaker - switching back to the old outlook for now.
