Outlook 2007 - field sorting

This may seem like a nit-pick, but there is functionality in Outlook 2003 that was removed from 2007.

In the previous version, when looking at the e-mail pane, and clicking one of the headers to re-sort (From, Subject, etc), the messages would re-sort, but the default selected message would stay in-view. For example, if I wanted to see all messages from 'Bob Smith', I could highlight one message from him, click the 'From' header, and the list of messages would re-sort with the selected message still in view. Now in 2007. it re-sorts, but then goes to the very top of the list (alphabetical order by name, in my above example).

Is there a way to re-enable the old style functionality? I used to use it a lot, and the new way slows things down.

Thanks!

It's not a nit-pick! That used to happen for us where I work, but it magically fixed itself, so are your service packs current?
