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

    I am going to drop the new version as well, only for this one reason.

    We're piloting the new look, many folks I work alongside have done the same. Some run both old and new side-by-side, but that approach isn't viable, from a broad deployment standpoint. Taking advantage of advanced search terms [as in, from:"******@acme.com" AND "STRING1" AND "STRING2"], and speed of same admittedly make-up for the loss of functionality, to an extent, but seemingly not sufficiently, in the minds of some.

    Sharing the search term above, as an Image; it was stripped, from the post above due to privacy concerns.

    In my case, this mostly offsets the loss of functionality.

    I just sent my feedback to Microsoft. Let's wait and see how quick it is getting fixed.
