I've been stumped by this also. I've figured it out and I think it had something to do with first filtering by newest to oldest, and then filtering by conversation. There is a chance that I have the filter priorities reversed, so if it does not work this way, try the other way.
Your question is tempting me to go back and try to fix some of my folders to be sorted in this way. I figured it out for some, but ran out of time and patients to get it done for the rest. Now I've just got to find the energy to do it.

I've been trying to figure out how to recreate my settings in Outlook 2003 which I had back when I used Outlook 2000. This might be a bit confusing, so I'll try to explain this is clearly as possible. I have all my messages in my in box and my sub-folders configured to be sorted in order of received, and in descending order. However, with some high traffic lists, I'm wanting to sometimes group by conversation in that sub-folder. And I do this in the arrange by section of the view menu. So far, so good. And then, when I collapse all groups (in the view menu), all new messages, and also all conversations that have new messages, should be at the top. Or at least I would think so. It definitely did in Outlook 2000. As it is, when I group by conversation, the conversations are in no particular order as far as I can tell. They could be anywhere from top to bottom. Here's why this is a problem. Since I keep some of my email, even after reading it, for an extended period of time, it then takes me significantly longer to seek out and delete unwanted threads this way rather than just read each new message one by one. I have to scroll down through *all* my messages from top to bottom just to find new messages. But they were all at the top in the earlier version of Outlook, which was very handy. I've been trying to figure out how to do this in Outlook 2003 for ages, and I've sought out ways to recreate it, but I'm utterly stumped. If anyone has an answer, I'd sure appreciate it.
