Mail flags sort by...

Hi, is there any way to rearrange the order of how the flags are displayed in Mail?

Right now I have this order... orange, red, purple, blue, yellow, green, grey and I cannot drag/drop them in the order I need.

Any suggestions?

I tried to tweak the .plist file but no success...

Flags no longer visible in message list in Mail Mail "Help" gives the above note; however, since the latest version of Mail came with Big Sur, I have not been able to find a way to make the flags show in the message list. I can sort for flags, etc., and I see a flag within an individual email. But I can't just look at the list by date and see which ones are flagged. So, the last sentence of the Help message above is no longer true. Does anyone have a fix for this? Or do I just have to suck it up as a "new feature" of Mail? If so, this user is annoyed by it.

Flag Colors Order Changed Mail 13.4, Change Order How? I need a way to reorder the flags in the following order: red, orange, yellow, green, etc. Dragging works for reorganizing other mailboxes but it is not working for reordering the flagged mailboxes. How do I change their order? This is important to me. Thank you.

Mail / Big Sur - Where did the flags go? So here's another little challenge which Big Sur brought to Mail users: The flags (marking for messages) which I use a lot to organise my work are kind of gone. Well: there are still flag symbols, but they don't show in the overview anymore. Only when I click on a message, I can see it was flagged, but that's not quite the idea, right? Has anyone got an idea how to bring them back into the From/Subject/Date/ line?
