Bring back sorting for All/Unread/Mentions and Arrange By quick sorting by Date, Size, etc.
In the latest update the view change to consolidate to a singular "All" dropdown that allows you to choose between the former All, Unread, Mentions and then to easily Sort with Arrange By. For many users the expanded view is preferred and more easily accessible. If that could be made a view option, or a toggle feature I think that would be a functionality improvement
Note from the Outlook Team: We have posted a Known Issue about this change with some explanation and possible solutions, https://support.office.com/en-us/article/All-Mail-and-Unread-Mail-tab-options-no-longer-show-in-Outlook-ecdfda13-bdc1-42e2-a77b-c18f6f291fe1?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US.

Update from the Outlook team: We’ve brought back the All and Unread filters for the inbox folder, as well as made enhancements to the sorts and filters menu. As a note, Focused and Other pivots will take priority over All and Unread when opted in to Focused Inbox.
These changes should be available for all users with Version 1802 (Build 9001.2138) and above.
Cheers,
The Outlook Team

Please bring back the Arrange By Drop Down - totally stuffs up my productivity. Typical change with no thought as to how people use the prod

I like it the old way because it was just one click on the drop down and then only one more click. It takes three clicks now.

Revert to the much more useful sort information above the Message Preview pane rather than the recent change that needs you to navigate a drop down menu.

Please allow and option to go back to the way this function was. This new "all" drop down adds too many steps.

Bad "upgrade". The old option was less steps for same task. You are making more work not less.

A step backwards in my opinion, unannounced, and adds another mouse click. Agree with others that previous view should be made an option.

I dislike this new feature immensely. Please provide an easy option to go back to the previous view.

Please revert to the previous view! This view 'All" dropdown is so counter-productive!!

Which user feedback/survey has Microsoft done to implement this "All -> Arrange by" feature?
It is so unproductive to click All -> Arrange by feature, when you could have sorted the column right away previously.
This is another feature that will definitely make my users scream!
Please revert back to how it was, as well as the "Attach file, NOT OneDrive link" feature!

Please change it back, this makes managing emails more time consuming, inefficient and frustrating.
I can see no redeeming feature to this change. There is sufficient space under the search bar for it to be included.

Bring it back, please!!! The recent change is incredibly frustrating and as others have mentioned, it's inefficient for a feature that I personally use often.

Yes of course this should be added back - how can you get rid of arrange?
It was simple - now more steps to search?
Please bring it back immediately -
