    When I accidentally delete an email and miss the undo window, finding it in the Trash means scrolling through dozens or hundreds of messages. The Trash folder currently has no way to sort by when items were deleted.

    Proposed solution: Add a "Deletion date" option to the existing sort/filter drop-down in the Trash folder, defaulting to newest-to-oldest (deletion time). This puts the most recently deleted emails at the top where they're easy to find and restore.

    Why this matters: During migration to Proton Mail, users often prune large volumes of old email. That process inevitably produces accidental deletions. If recovery is frustrating enough, a new user may abandon the migration entirely — a loss for both the user and Proton.
