(quoted from post at 19:02:30 03/17/18) Have not read the NEC in a while but as I recall the switch must disconnect the hot wire or both hot & neutral in some cases.
(quoted from post at 21:51:14 03/17/18) Why would you switch the neutral???
(quoted from post at 04:09:10 03/18/18) Rkh; I read your question differently than everyone who has answered so far, so statistically that makes it more likely that I'm the one who is misunderstanding. What I took your question to mean is how do you make an outlet switched when the power comes in at the outlet rather than at the switch? Is that what you're asking? Here's how you do that:
1) Assuming that there is a 12/2 cable between the outlet and the switch, disconnect the incoming power at the outlet, the black wire if it's wired correctly, and connect that to the black wire running to the switch.
2) Connect this (black) hot wire from the outlet to one side of the switch.
3) Connect the white wire in the switchbox to the other side of the switch. Put black electrical tape, black paint, or black magic marker on this white wire to show that it is now a hot wire.
4) Connect the other end of this white wire to the hot side of the outlet. Make it black to show that it is now a hot wire.
