I've never found much luck in trying to sort via the columns, basically it's
just date order, last first and if I need anything more specific use find.
This is especially true in sent items where there are lots of news posts as
well as emails and the listing whatever you do is quite large.

Use the "Find" function button and type keys in both fields?

(I am assuming you are using the column sort)

Does anyone out there know how OE6 sorts stored mail after the first
selection? In other words, I have sent many dozens of email messages to
particular individuals, such as my engineer, over a long period of time.
If I want to find a particular message from the past I can sort by the
"To" column then look for his name. The problem is that there are still
so many messages to him that it takes a very long time to find any
particular one because within the group by each name they all appear to
be in random order! Is there a way to sort by a second level such as
name then within that date?

Thanks,
