Can sort by recipient name but can't jump to name by typing the first letter

In this "amazing" (sarcasm) new Outlook, is there a way to sort your inbox or sent items alphabetically and then type the first letter of the recipient's name to jump to that section?

 

This is important because often users might be doing some correspondence with someone but forget their name or don't know the correct spelling.

 

Or let me guess.... the "work around" is to keep scrolling and scrolling until you get to the letter.

    This is a pretty big deal...and haven't seen an answer yet to something that should be so simple. You sort by name and hit letter to jump...if the letter is F-P then all you're doing is scrolling. microsoft how about an update or an answer.
