Sort conversations in ascending or descending order / Filter by date
Peter Humphrey
So this request is a little out there, but leaving it here anyway.
I would love the option to sort emails from Oldest to Newest. Not all the time, but as an option. When emails are ordered new to old, i end up reacting the the newest emails and ignoring the oldest.
I would like to start attending to emails in a less-reactionary, First-In-First out process.
Another idea would be to allow the inbox to be filter by date. Essentially, filter out any emails that were received same-day and only show emails that are at least 1 day old. This is taken from Tony Hsieh's "Yesterbox" process: https://yesterbox.com/

Commenting to bring this into view again 🙂 I'd really love to see this feature available, when my inbox gets busy it means that I struggle to get to the oldest ones and so they sit there and get older, uglier, and more problematic!

People have been requesting this feature since 2018. It's 2024.

Would be helpful to sort the inbox by oldest first to prioritize aging emails that need a response.

Filter to display emails from newest to oldest

We know Missive doesn't allow for displaying emails from newest to oldest and it doesn't seem they are interested in implementing that feature. Perhaps at the very least they could create a filter that would display emails from newest to oldest?

This is really necessary especially when managing multiple accounts/teams. Many competing tools offer this - coming from front app they have the ability to sort your search from newest/oldest by activity (example comments added to the emails by your team) or by just the actual email itself. Below is the description from fronts sort feature:
Newest
The emails with the newest activity will be listed the top in chronological order down to oldest activity, regardless of whether the emails have been replied to yet. As you receive new inbound emails, they will appear at the top of the email list. The timestamp and sort will use the last activity time, such as an internal comment, reminder, or topic closure, and not necessarily the time of the last inbound message. If two inbound messages arrive back-to-back, Front will use the timestamp of the earlier message.
Oldest
The emails with the oldest activity will be listed at the top in chronological order down to newest, regardless of whether the emails have been replied to yet. As you receive new inbound emails, they will appear at the bottom of the email list. The timestamp and sort will use the last activity time, such as an internal comment, and not necessarily the time of the last inbound message. If two inbound messages arrive back-to-back, Front will use the timestamp of the earlier message.
Newest unreplied
The newest inbound messages that have not been replied to yet will be listed at the top in chronological order down to the oldest unreplied message. Messages that have been waiting the shortest amount of time for a reply will be at the top of your list. If two inbound messages arrive back-to-back, Front will use the timestamp of the earlier message.
Oldest unreplied
The oldest inbound messages that have not been replied to yet will be listed at the top in chronological order down to the newest. Messages that have been waiting the longest amount of time for a reply will be at the top of your list. If two inbound messages arrive back-to-back, Front will use the timestamp of the earlier message.

+1 to sorting inbox by incoming mail timestamp, without moving to the top threads with new reply or comment

We would also find this feature very useful. Hope to see it soon.

this is really important. Very hard to clean up my inbox due to the "lazy loading" of emails. Hard to even scroll to the bottom.

Being able to sort by oldest/newest is important. Even the comments in this thread allow you to sort activity by oldest/newest.
