Sorting your Email 5
by Adam Marks Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:46 am EDT
Did you know that you could sort your email by Sender or Subject, in addition to the default Date sort? From within any email folder (this can't be done from the main folder listing page) you simply swipe down from the top-left of the screen to bring own the Email Application dropdown menu and choose "Sort…" then choose Date, Sender or Subject. Choose it a second time and it will sort in reverse order. You will also notice that there is a Meta-tap option shown within the dropdown, so just hold the Gesture Area and press the D, S or T keys to change the sort.
- Note that the "by Sender" sort is based off the name the sender attaches to their email account, not the name within your Contacts lists on your device.

nice, possibly the first useful tip on here for me
Why sort when you can just type? Sorting just adds steps. When in the folder, just type what you want to see, sender or subject.
I use it occasionally..
cool tip.. I saw this and forgot about it.
BTW- Anyone have a tip on making email messages render faster (ie open and see text once you select an email) mine seems to take forever..opening each email. Wiped, doctored and even changed phones. Just 3 normal pop email accnts incl a hotmail accnt.
also...I miss the trick "tap-drag" to quick view an email in webos 1.0!! Bring it back H-Palm!
Just wondering...

Nice tip. Is there a way to view Precentral's tips on a Pre easily?
Can I also ask if there is a way to only display unread e-mails or sort by read/unread status?
