Eudora User Manual Sorting Messages Within Mailboxes
118
QUALCOMM Incorporated
Similarly, when you transfer messages to another mailbox, those messages appear at the
bottom of the message summary list in that mailbox.
You can sort messages in a mailbox by status, priority, attachment, label, sender, date,
size, server status, subject, and group by subject. You can sort these messages in either
ascending or descending order one column at a time or by combining several columns in
the sort.
Simple Sorting
You can access Eudora’s sort feature to perform a simple sort in three ways:
■ By clicking the column header you want to sort. For example, if you click the Who
column, senders of your messages are sorted in alphabetically order.
■ By right-clicking anywhere on the column headings. The context menu appears for you
to choose a sort criteria for that column. For example, if you choose the item to sort in
descending order, the mailbox sorts from top to bottom.
■ By choosing the Sort from the Edit menu. The Sort submenu appears for you to choose
a column heading to sort.
Note. The normal sort order is ascending, for example, with the most current dates at the
bottom of the list. If you hold down the Shift key and click the column header, the sorting
becomes descending. You can mix ascending and descending sorts when sorting more
than one column at a time.
Following is the context menu that appears when you right-click the Who column heading.

In each column heading, you can choose if that heading has no sort, is sorted in
ascending order, or sorted in descending order. Also, you can group subjects together by
choosing Group by Subject, which keeps messages with the same subject together all
the time.
Messages (including replies) with the same subject, such as a work project are kept
together in the mailbox regardless of whether you sort by Date, Sender, and so on. A
checkmark next to the Group by Subject option in the context menu indicates that the
option is active.
New messages that come into a sorted mailbox will automatically be placed in the correct
sorted order. For example, if you have a mailbox sorted by date, and you want all of the
messages to be grouped by subject, any new messages will be grouped with other
messages containing the same subject in a chronological.
Note. You can also sort message in the Find Messages window when the Results panel is
active.
