Sort order - Unread Folder

1

I like sorting unread messages by Folder, but would like the option to view those sorted messages (within the Folders) from oldest to newest, rather than newest to oldest. I thought I remembered a previous version did this by default (either beta 1 or 2). But RC is newest to oldest by default.

Is there any way to do this?

Hi, go to Tools - Settings - Mail - Read in “message list” part switch “set date sort order:” to "new messages in the bottom.

Thanks John… but I was wanting to change the order ONLY in the unread folder… not all folders.

I did find a workaround. I use your method and then go to the individual inboxes and reverse the sort order using the up and down arrows at the top of the listing…

This way I have oldest-to-newest in the unread folder and newest-to-oldest in the inboxes.

thank you for this workaround, some users might find it helpful as well :slight_smile:

Here we are 12 years later and still no simple button or a way to access email attributes by column at the top of the dataa in question to change sort order by any column. Most programs using cell type data can be easily sorted based on any attribute of the data. Think Excel or Access. How could this be missing? I don’t even see a way to layout the email by columns rather than a bulk listing of everything in the global unread folder.

I don’t even see a way to do the so-called work around in Android.
