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 unable to jump to the name that I want to from my inbox but it works fine from my Sent Items, so not sure why it works in the Sent Items and NOT the Inbox

    These type of responses are so frustrating to read. This is a function that should be a core function of the Outlook application. How this could be removed in the developer room is unbelievable. And this response makes it clear that we're never going to get it back. Thanks, Microsoft. Another core function that has been removed to make the product worse. In fact, I would argue that almost all of Microsoft's functions have been becoming worse over time. It's beyond frustrating, and makes me lose productivity at work. I get paid to be on Outlook, and now my job just got harder because of no fault of my own or my employer, except for deciding to go with Microsoft in the first place. It is my least favorite platform to use, and it keeps getting worse.

    We're likely to never get a solution to this. Looking forward to the next release of Outlook where the remove even more functions.

    Yes, this does the trick, but in this instance you have to write a full line of code, where originally three key strokes would do. That's a big step back for me.
