A lot of people have complained about this. Currently, to sort you go to the View->Sort By menu.

You should use feedback to join the chorus asking for the return of the ability to sort from the toolbar.


In the meantime: if you can use Column Layout, you can sort by any column merely by clicking the header of that column; click again to reverse.

If you don't like Column Layout, you can still sort more quickly than View->Sort By, if you add a keyboard shortcut for "Date", "From", etc. in System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts.


Here's hoping the feature returns in a future update.
