Meeting Response Sorting

When is Microsoft ever going to add functionality to allow a meeting owner to sort or filter their meeting responses by Accepted, Declined and Tentative? This has been my greatest ongoing struggle with meeting planning Outlook.

    AndiRobinson Has there been any response to this request? I think anyone that uses Outlook and is cognizant of sending repeat invitations to people who have already declined could use this functionallity.

      I would love to see a solution to this problem as well. Seems like such a basic function, that should exist.

    Completely agree with OP. First, sorting by Accepted, Declined, and Tentative is sorely missing and should be a top priority for development but it would also be nice to sort alphabetically by email/contact, too. The Tracking tab is just a mess without any of this functionality.

      So I accidentally came across a bit of a work around for this. It's not perfect but at least it's something.

       

      When you get an Accepted, Tentative, or Declined response to a meeting invite, double click on the message and there will be a neatly sorted list that looks like this:

       

      Accepted   John Doe; 
      Tentative    Jane Doe;
      Declined    John Doe Jr.;

       

      This seems like a somewhat decent way to sort for now, but there should definitely be a sorting option within the tracking tab.
