Sort emails in Mail on Mac
You can sort email messages in the message list — for example, by person or date — so it’s easier to find messages.
In the Mail app
on your Mac, choose View > Sort By, then choose an attribute, such as From or Size, and a sort order.
If you’re using column layout, you can also Control-click a column header, choose Sort By, then choose an attribute and a sort order.
