If you search here on the word SORT, there are 242 references or ideas, that’s 13 pages of results.
Granted, supported functions, such as FILTERing have more, 404. But that is to be expected, since it is an active and available function.
My issue is not being able to sort my emails or contacts by whatever criteria I want wherever it resides, whether labeled or not. Filtering is not an adequate solution. Filtering requires I know the criteria on which I want to filter beforehand. Sorting does not. Sorting allows me to find emails I didn’t know I received and group them together by criteria I choose.
Ideally, I should be able to perform bi-directional and simultaneous sorts, but even being able to sort by any one vector or column at a time is preferred over the limited selections we have now.
Admittedly, searching on SORT results in some ideas being included that aren’t related to sorting emails, such as the oldest idea found on page 13 which references sorting folders.
But even that indicates a hole in the services being rendered within the PROTON products, why is SORTING an overlooked and under-delivered function?
What is the point of posting these ideas about SORTing and so few being delivered? What is the point of voting on the various ideas of SORT with the key complaint in many of the ideas not being delivered? Does voting across different SORT ideas diminish the weight of our request to add this function?
I added a SORT idea back on 22 December 2016, #3186. At the time I asked for:
1) Ability to sort by sender
2) Ability to bring up messages not assigned a label
3) Ability to sort by label
It seems to have been deleted. On 13 February 2017 I reposted asking for the same features and what happened to my earlier idea? No response. Here it is four years later.
I like PROTON’s products and I am a paying customer for PROTON mail, but lacking this function is an irritant and makes using the product much harder to use than it should be.
Functions should be added not to keep pace with your competitors, but to separate yourself from them. This would make your products better and improve your customer’s experience.
