Yes, its in the VIEW menu in Outlook. Just scroll down to Arrange By, open
that menu, and select Subject.

Cindy,
I think what you are looking for might be in outlook for sorting incoming
mail.
I don't use outlook, but eudora has that option too.  posts can be sorted by
subject.  of course, this assumes you don't act like a packrat and keep
everything in your in-box, like I do.  if you are better about that, then
sorting by subject would work for you.
