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.
