Sorting by date, sender, subject, subject A to Z or Z to A
Every other email I've used allows sorting by date, sender, subject. A to Z or Z to A (not the same as filtering by key word)

At present, messages can be organized by Size and by Date. I'd like to be able to organize my messages alphabetically by Sender and by Subject Line. So, for example, I could group all my messages from Google Alerts together and read them all, then move on to other messages. This seems the only common email feature that's missing from ProtonMail, and it would be so helpful.

When examining the contents of any folder (including the inbox) it would be helpful to be able to sort the emails by sender name, and by label, alphabetically and reverse alphabetically.

I agree. The work around I have been using is putting the sender's name in the the "search messages" box. It works but is a time waster. When emails pile up it saves a huge amount of time to be able to sort by sender to quickly delete marketing and other junk emails. I have never sorted emails by size, but sender seems like a feature everyone would use.

Inbox can be ordered according to size and date, but why can it not be ordered according to sender? Useful to "tidy up" after a lot of emials accumulate

Please also add sorting of parent folders alphabetically and then the children folders alphabetically, it's very annoying to have to manually drag and drop folders in the correct order.
This is because dragging parent folders is very annoying. It keeps trying to move a parent folder into another parent folder, which gives an error.
It would be nice to move folders in the tree up and down with the keyboard instead of the mouse.

This is the most frustrating thing about Protonmail, so much so I've almost decided to stop using it. THIS IS A STANDARD FEATURE. IT IS NOT A FRILLl!!! I can't believe I even have to ask for it.

Ditto the comments by Anonymous on July 22, 2020. This is enormously frustrating and has been available on other services for a long time. ProtonMail is an excellent service that would be even better if it were possible to sort views based on Sender, Subject and date.

I would like to delete emails from specific senders.
It will be more easy if i can sort them by "name/sender", like i can do in thunderbird.

I just upgraded to Plus and am trying to import another email - but I can't sort my emails by Sender or specific keyword strings. This is really important to me because I want to quickly organize the emails into folders. A bonus would be filtering the sort using multiple categories (by Sender, then by Read/Unread, then by Starred, etc) - but at least allow me to sort by Sender or search for a string.

I really need to be able to sort by Sender, Title, Date, read/unread, tags, star/favorite/importance.
If mails are sorted into folders, then you should be able to see what folder (or the inbox) each email is located in. -

The inability to simply sort emails by sender in Gmail is one of the reasons I want to move away from it (as well as security, obviously). When you're used to MS Outlook at work, with all its various and very easy ways to sort emails, it's extremely hard to keep on top of your personal inbox in Gmail without these same abilities. It makes weeding through your inbox nigh on impossible. It's why I have over 1,000 unread emails in Gmail that I will never find time to go through and delete. I just can't understand why a range of simple sort options aren't standard in every email client.

I’d like to be able to sort my messages by email address. E.g. being able to see only my business mail in the inbox at a time. Kind of like the Apple Mail app. Also, being able to sort messages by date (newer to older and vice-versa) and by sender.

I can't believe this is not already available in ProtonMail. Sorting by sender makes it incredibly easier to delete emails by sender as they are all grouped together. It also makes it easier to move a bunch of emails from a specific sender to a folder.I have been using ProtonMail for two years and the lack of the ability to sort by sender, makes me think I will shift back to Outlook which I still use and then drop ProtonMail or try another secure mail provider.

Sort by sender would be great so I can delete all the old subscription messages easily. Some send two or more emails per day. If they have promotions I want to keep them normally until the end of the month, but then I delete. Without this sort function it is too time consuming to find them all.

I would like a feature that allows me to classify all my email by names of the senders from A to Z and from Z to A.
Currently mails can be only be classified by size, or by date
It is not possible on the web browser but only on if I use an application like mail or outlook.

This is seriously the most infuriating thing with using Protonmail, an otherwise fantastic service for the price point. Sorting by subject/sender/date/etc has been standard on MS outlook and other mail clients for a long time. Why hasn't this been addressed?

I've requested this same feature several times in the past. All other e-mail services except for ZOHO offer the ability to choose the option of sort/list e-mails by sender instead of only by their date, new, already read, etc. And is a vital feature for at least 314 users who voted on this recommendation already made by several other users, possibly even more users want this but have not come forward because maybe they didn't know how to articulate it. So many commenters have reiterated these requests. "Bruc3 l33" on May 11, 2017 said: "im missing this funktion, too. will it come?" And then "E" on May 30, 2018 said: "Agreed!!!, I hope more users can vote for this feature, it will help a lot when searching some emails by sender." And then "esthetic1" on March 07, 2020 said, "Please also allow sorting by Sender, by Description and by Date column. Also these should have a header column." And then "kristie" on October 09, 2018 said, "I am moving away from gmail because it doesn't have the ability to sort by sender. If protonmail can't do this either I will need to look for another vendor. Why is this such a thing that email providers don't do anymore?" And then "George" on December 08, 2018 said, "Please make sorting of contacts available." And then "Jaco" on November 16, 2017 said, "Sorting by the sender (contact) is the quickest way to boost productivity when processing your email because it allows you to quickly remove low priority mail." And then "Sarah F" on October 08, 2017 said, "Sorting is a such a basic and useful tool, that I can't understand why it isn't offered, in addition to the filters, which are also useful. There has to be a reason. I can only assume that filters allow you to monitor your clients somehow where sorting does not. Admittedly, pure speculation on my part. Please add the sort feature. You can always spy on my deleted mail." And then "Bob Buhr" on July 16, 2017 said, "I agree completely. There are times when email just gets backed up, and being able to sort by sender is the difference between spending minutes or spending hours cleaning it up. Plus it's useful for searching stuff that isn't yet in folders. Yahoo has this feature, which is really the only reason I keep it at this point, as does Runbox." And then "Jarin Udom" on January 22, 2017 said, "I would love to have this feature, sorting by sender is extremely useful for clearing out large amounts of unread email.
I'm praying you add this new feature which isn't new in this industry and is already used by ALL email services except for ZOHO and ProtonMail. And is a vital feature for several of your users, possibly even more users but they can't articulate it as well as I can and so they have not come forward and asked. We NEED you!!! Thank you so much!!! We NEED you!!! Thank you so much!!! -
