OWA in Exchange 2013 - Sent Items cannot show Sent TO:

I know there is a thread on this elsewhere, and it goes back to 2013 so obviously Microsoft doesn't care about it very much although they've reported 2 years ago that they were "looking at it".  We recently "upgraded" from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 and now we have a LOT of users complaining that OWA no longer allows them to sort by sent TO, although it does do a sort FROM.  We have about 500 users who do not have the option of using the full Outlook client, these are float staff who have always used OWA exclusively. 

I guess posting this in 2015 after MS has been "looking at it" since 2013 already gives me their answer, but, hey, there's my rant.  C'mon Microsoft, listen to your customers.  You want users to move forward and then you cripple functionality.  It seems that the right team issuing a HotFix could solve this problem.

We have the latest patches of Exchange 2013 installed.  I just opened up OWA, went to my SENT Items, clicked on the Conversations drop down and it will allow me to sort by date, by From:, by newest / oldest, etc, but there is no option to sort  the Sent Items by the TO: factor.  I am using OWA with Internet Explorer Version 11.  

Of course it would work in the full Outlook client, but as I stated from the beginning, this is OWA.

I don't know what you are seeing and how but it is not showing up here.

Thanks.

Hi,

According to your description, I know your issues that the Exchange 2013 OWA can not sort by Sent To and you cant find the option.

On client side,you can try to add the OWA site to the list of sites to be viewed in compatibility view setting.

In addiction,I suggest you could also try to change their browsers like chrome to have a test.

On server side, if all users have the issues on the exchange 2013 CU8 which is the latest exchange version , I suggest you could open a case with Microsoft to resolve the issue.

You can click the below link to download the latest patch: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46373     

More details about IE setting ,please refer to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2866064?wa=wsignin1.0    

Best Regards,
