I would like to sort my messages by date (or some other category), then sort by another category while keeping the first sort. In other words, a sort within a sort. I'm using TB 24.6.0

example: If you select View > Sort by > select: 'From' and 'Descending' and 'Group by Sort'

You will get a list of names Z at top and A at bottom, with a sublist of emails sorted with newest at top.

Changing the sort selection from Descending to Ascending will put the names sorted A at top, but the dates per person will be oldest at top.

As I prefer the emails to be in date newset on top, it means I have to select to have the order of 'From' with A at bottom; depends on your preference.

Additional: If you start by selecting: 'From' and 'Descending' and 'Group by Sort' then change sort to 'Ascending', you may notice no change until you hover the mouse over the entire list, this is a known bug. Please feel free to Vote for this bug, you may need to logon / tregister.
