Yosemite Mail Sorting Function Missing

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Mail/Provide Mail Feedback

I have the same problem. Earlier clicking on sort would stick to the selected message but now the selected message has to be searched by scrolling. This is very irritating.

Still no question of Apple to solve this issue?

How can I send Feedback to Apple?

You can't change Mail's behavior, but you can Change yours.

After selecting a sort, arrow down. The next message will be in view.

II'm not sure you understand the problrm because your answer is totally wrong

I completely understand the problem, but you don't seem to understand my workaround.

The item you had selected when you change the sort order does not change. So, moving the arrow up or down will select the previous or next message and bring the focus back to that point.

The only thing this workaround provides is not having to scroll the list of emails, which seems to be the general complaint.

OOh ok! I understand what you said!

the thing is that first of all, that's clearly a bug in OS or a failure that wasn't there before.

ON the other hand, I have 6 mailboxes so may imagine that I have more than 20,000 emails and you may imagine that Im reading a email from "edgar" and when I try to sort by his name, it will leave at "z" so. I have to go all the way down!!! and just because Apple decided to take off the "end and start" buttons is really something awful have to do this because like I said, was something that worked before

No, you don't. Just tap the up or down arrow. The message before or after will be selected and show up without you having to scroll.

Note that you must have the email message from "edgar" selected when you change the sort.

What "end and start" buttons?

OOk, let me me try

I dont remember the name of the buttons in the keyword now only on PC used for that "sent to the top(start or begin don remember the name) and to the end "end button"

As far as I can tell, you are talking about page up and page down, Home and End.

Page up is fn-Up arrow; Page Down is fn-down Arrow.

fn-left is Home. fn-right is End

Cmd-up is Home. cmd-down is end.

cmd-left is beginning of line. cmd-right is end of line.

In the Mail message list, only fn-up and down seem to work.

cmd-opt-up/down works for Home, End.

HHome and end!! Thats correct!!

on the other hand: ****!! 5 years using Mac and knew about cmd/left and right but up and down don't!! Hahaha

I used it since years

and now its a Bug at #Yosemite#Mail#inbox "sort by name"

do NOT begin with selected email as usual -

... now start with A,

this is very very stupid dear #Apple

Thank you for this information!! Can you share how you found/figured this out, so next time I'll know to look there?

Also, I used to go straight to a desired Mail folder ("Mailbox") by doing a search, choosing the Mailbox name, selecting a message from those listed within that Mailbox, then clicking on the Mailbox name in the message header (upper right corner). The left sidebar used to then jump directly to where that Mailbox is in my folder tree. Not any more! When I hover over that Mailbox name now, I just see the little white-gloved hand, and if I click on the Mailbox name it does nothing :-( I used to use this all the time since I have lots of Mailboxes - hoping you or someone else can help!
