  <title>Sorting the message list</title>
  
<p>Evolution lets you organize your emails by letting you sort messages in the <link xref="intro-main-window#e-mail">message list</link>.</p>

<section id="email-threads">
<title>Sorting Mail in Email Threads</title>
<p>You can use a threaded message view to sort emails. To enable this feature, click on <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Group By Threads</gui></guiseq> or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>T</key></keyseq>.</p>
<p>This feature, when enabled, groups replies with the original email and allows you to follow the flow of the conversation from one message to the next.</p>
<p>When a new message arrives, it will be added below the parent message. Threads are sorted and displayed based on the date of the most recent message received.</p>
<note style="tip"><p>For Advanced Users: There is a GSettings key that allows you to toggle between the collapsed and expanded state of the email threads. The collapsed state is enabled by default. It can be changed by starting the <app>Terminal</app> application and running the command <cmd>gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.mail thread-expand true</cmd></p>
<list>
<item><p>Open the <app>Terminal</app> application.</p></item>
<item><p>Run the command <cmd>gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface can-change-accels true</cmd></p></item>
</list>
</note>

<section id="column-headers">
<title>Sorting Mail with Column Headers</title>
<p>The message list displays columns that indicate whether a message has been read, whether it has attachments, how important the message is, the sender, date, and the subject. To change the columns used in the message list, you can do one of the following:</p>
<list>
<item><p>Drag and drop the column header bars</p></item>
<item><p>Right-click on the header.</p></item>
<item><p>Select the <gui>Remove This Column</gui> or <gui>Add a Column</gui> option.</p></item>
</list>

<p>Evolution allows you to sort your messages using these columns. Just click on the column label to sort the emails. The direction of the arrow next to the label indicates the direction of the sort.</p>
</section>

<section id="sort-options">
<title>Using Other Sorting Options</title>
<p>Evolution provides other ways for sorting email messages. You can use Sort By, Sort Ascending, Sort Descending, or Unsort.</p>
