Group by Category disappeared
I have been flagging emails in Outlook and adding a Category with the name of someone who is responsible to deal with the content of that email. This gets automatically added to To Do and when I move...
Temporary solution for those missing this feature (from a fellow user):
In Outlook, go to View then click on To-Do Bar and ensure that the Tasks view is enabled. You should see your tasks on the right hand side. On top of this list, there is a setting called "Arrange by:". Click on that, then click on View Settings. Click on the second button, which is Group By. Unclick "Automatically group according to arrangement".
Finally, in the Group items by, select Due Date. And in the Then by section, select Categories. Click OK.
This custom setup will bring back the group by categories function, if only in Outlook... good luck.

This worked for me in one go.. Thanks for sharing the workaround.
