Outlook Reminders
Posted on 2014-11-20
My client has Office 2010 French on Windows 7 French. The reminder window is not sorted in any way that would make any sense. I have created a list based on the order I see the reminder with various information regarding the appointment:
Description Deadline Date Hours Reminder
Call 21 hours Nov. 19 11:30 to 12 15 minutes
Conference 21 hours Nov. 19 11:30 to 12 15 minutes
Filing 12 days Dec. 2 9 to 12 2 weeks
Meeting 1 day 23 hours Nov. 18 9 to 5 15 minutes
Training 1 day 8 hours Nov. 19 All day 18 hours
Meeting 1 day 8 hours Nov. 9 All day 1 day
Lunch 1 day 19 hours Nov. 18 12:30 to 2 1 day
I tried the /cleanreminders and /resetfolders switches without any effect. I also tried /firstrun and I get an error indicating "in French" that the switch is wrong.
I also did a repair on Outlook
Any idea on how I can sort the reminders back in order
Thanks
Jeannie

The reminders window is sorted by the reimnder time of each appointment. So, for example, if you have 3 appointments:
1. Jan 1, 2014 at 1pm with a reminder of 5 min
2. Jan 1, 2014 at 2pm with a reminder of 2 hours
3. Jan 1, 2014 at 3pm with a reminder of 5 min
Then the order that they show up in will be 2, 1, 3
Here's a good article about it, and it also has a link to a 3rd-party plugin that gives you more control over that reminder window (although I'm no sure that it's compatible with Office 2010 or 2013).
