I am using Outlook 2010 at work. We have a calendar each that we share with other colleagues so that we are aware of each other's whereabouts. I like the overlay view because it gives me all the information I need in a relatively small space on the screen.

Everything works well appart from one detail: when I open the calendar view, the top calendar is always one of my colleague's (never mine for some reason).

So I move to my calendar tab, add something, go back to my emails and when I come back to the calendar view, the top calendar is AGAIN one of my colleagues'.

I really wish I could find a way to tell Outlook to stop playing with my nerves like that but I can't seem to find anything useful on the forums or MS help.

Does anyone know how to keep my calendar on top in overlay view?

What I get (my colleague's calendar on top):

my colleague's calendar on top

What I would like to get (without having to click on my calendar's tab before editing):

my calendar on top

The problem I see is that you have the calendars on different calendar groups, and for some reason that is confusing the Outlook client.

The groups on the left named "My Calendars" and "Shared Calendars" are the default grouping for calendars, however, you can create your own and give them the order you want. You can either move all of the calendars into one of the existing groupings, or create a new group. The procedure is quite simple:

  1. Right clic on top of one of the groupings and select New Calendar Group (give it a name)
  2. Right clic on each calendar and move them up or down so that they enter your newly created group, and place them in the order you want to be displayed on your screen.
