Q: Why are recipients not in alphabetical (or any other) order?
I've seen a version of this question posed by GenipGirl, but I've seen no answer.
Here are my questions:
In my Address Book, the names are all in order, alphabetized by their first name. However, when I select the group for the To: box, the names just appear in random order. What's up?
How do I get Mail to list the names in the "To" box in the order I prefer?

In the mean time, you can do it fairly quickly from within Mail without going into the Address Book:
In a new blank message, click on the Address button to bring up the Addresses window.
Click on the name of the group you want to send to (All if its everyone in your Address Book). The list on the right will be sorted in the order you require.
Select the first person in the list, press and hold the Shift key down, then use the down arrow key on the keyboard to go down the list until all the names are selected. This puts them onto the clipboard in the order you want.
Let go of the Shift key, and click the To: or Cc: button.
Hey Presto, you have your sorted list.
