How do I sort emails in each folder by subject or sender?

Question

How do I sort emails in each folder by subject or sender?

on my PC, I used outlook and within each folder, I could sort by either sender or subject. This helped to locate emails by client or spam by subject.

how can I do this on my iPad Air 2020 with iOS 15?

iPad, iOS 9

Hi Malibubarbie72, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.

I do hope the above link has resolved your query.

However, there is also a very good Search option in both the Outlook and Mail apps in the iPad that could suffice for the sort function in outlook for your PC. I have included the following link which explains the search criteria as follows:

No, I’ve tried outlook for iOS and it specifically says it won’t sort by sender or subject in each mail folder. The Apple mail doesn’t.

I don’t need help sorting FOLDERS, I need help sorting emails in each folder including spam, junk and trash (so i can review in batches to find a good email). Using the “search” doesn’t work for this.

Thanks.

Thank you Malibubarbie72, I can only suggest using the web-based version of Outlook and/or Mail as opposed to the app. For outlook it has the ability to sort emails by: Date, From, Size, Importance, Subject. The Mail in iCloud on the web again uses the Search function to achieve a similar outcome.
