Is there a way to alphabetize all day events in an outlook calendar so that
recurring all day events and single occurrence all day events are
alphabetized?

Currently, recurring events appear at the top by duration of event (longer
first, then shorter), then single all day events.

Of course, the workaround would be to enter each reoccurrence as a single
event on each day but who wants to do that?

I don't think you can change that order.

As I know, all day event is sorted out alphabetically by default, despite
of the type of the occurrence

I set the view to "Day", and create a test all day event (Single
occurrence) with "a" as the subject. The "a" event will appear in the top
of the all day events; and if I changed the subject to "z", the test event
will move to the bottom of the all day events

If I've misunderstood the question, please feel free to correct me

To see what I am talking about:
Create 2 single-day all day events ("A test" and "Z test"
Now create 2 all day events that span two days ("A test" and "Z test" again)
If you want to really see what I'm saying, create 2 more all day events that
span several days naming them the same.

If you are like me you will see three groupings (according to duration) with
all three groups sorted alpha.

We want all events to sort alpha no matter what the duration length.

Thanks

We want all events to sort alpha no matter what the duration length.

And I already told you that I believe you cannot. You cannot control the
order Outlook sorts in the view.

O, I see your point. As I tested, it's the expected behavior.

Agree with Brian. Per my research, there's no feature that can change this
behavior in the outlook natively.

You can use the programming newsgroup to see if there's any method to
accomplish such task by using script
