I just wanted to follow up on a reply that Paul Berkowitz made to this post (I've lost Paul's reply, sorry.) IIRC, Paul has suggested some methods for setting categories in relation to this post, and he has stressed the order in which categories are assigned. It is that point that I'd like to address, and see if anyone else has the same frustrations. The resulting color of an item assigned multiple categories depends on the order in which those categories are applied. Okay, fine. However, the ordering will be different depending on HOW you add more categories. For example, if I am looking at a list of messages, on the right, and I have the Category column showing, and if I click the category name then I am presented with a pop-up list of my defined categories. When I choose a category from the list, it is inserted into the category list (as displayed in the category column) IN FRONT of the other categories already assigned to the item, and the item takes on the color of the now last-assigned category. If, however, I control-click or menu-choose "Assign Categories", then the categories are listed in the category column alphabetically and the color of the item is the alphabetically first category. Am I missing a "feature" here, or is the assignment of categories operating differently in differing views a bug? Gary P.S. Yeah, put the checkbox back. It's a much more logical way than 'fake' categories. And while you're doing that, please fix the Category window by allowing a sort by color. -- Do not reply via email.
