I suspect this is a consequence of how Microsoft Outlook is presenting 
the information to the screen reader, in order to achieve a presentation 
considered desirable by Microsoft's software developers.


If I'm right, then I doubt there's anything you can do to change it, 
other than to submit a bug report to Microsoft.

Voiceover reads Subject before Sender in Outlook message list

2022-09-28 Thread Andre Soares
Hello all,

I’m currently having a strange problem, where Voiceover seems to be reading 
things in a different order from how they are displayed on screen.

In Outlook for Mac, when navigating the message list, Voiceover always reads 
each message header by an order my brain always finds strange:
Subject, Sender and then Date.

This is despite the fact that, to  a sighted person, the message list appears 
with the columns by the order I want:
From, Subject and then Date.

Anyone else has this problem?
Is there a known fix for this?

I’m using Microsoft Outlook for Mac version 16.65, running MacOS 12.6 on a 
MacBook Air M1 2020


Thanks in advance,
André
