XCLN: Column Order Changed After Group By Operation (146881)

SYMPTOMS

In the Microsoft Exchange client, the column order is not retained and will be altered after you apply a Group By condition and remove the Group By condition.

CAUSE

This is by design. Microsoft Exchange does not store the view that you were using before you did a Group By, so it can not restore the column order.

The default is to put the column that you were grouping by as the first column with a column width of 1 character.
