Why can I not sort my sent emails on the recipient?
Why can I not sort my sent emails on the recipient? How am I supposed to find emails I've sent. I've never seen a mail app that doesn't allow you to do this.

It would be a much better idea to sort out the useless Sent Items filter functionality, rather than add any new features to Hotmail.

I want to have a Subfolder under Sent, but when I created it, it did not list my sent items by recipient, as is done in Sent parent folder, This is ridiculous. I want to be able to put my Sent items in different folders just as I can Received ones. Any folder created under Sent should work the same as Sent parent.

Among Sent items, why can't I sort on "To"?

Totally ridiculous to have taken it away, why would MS do that?! Listen to your users MS and bring it back asap. So pleased I moved over to Apple six years ago, life has been SO much easier.

I'm very confused why this doesn't exist. It seems like basic functionality!

Who decided to remove this function and WHY?! I'm guessing it was to save space on the servers or something. It drives me insane. I do an annual clear out of my mail and this year I finished sorting my inbox and went to the sent folder to do the same, only to find I cannot group the thousands of messages by name, recipient. There are important legal messages that I need to keep and now they are lost among the many other less important messages. My only option now is to spend the rest of the year sorting them individually, which is infuriating. I have tried every workaround and it turns out that if, before I had sorted my inbox, I had turned on conversation view, when I sorted my inbox it would have taken the associated sent messages with it, but it's too late now, I didn't realise until too late. Honestly if Outlook are trying to improve user productivity and satisfaction they've failed miserably. They haven't saved any space on their servers either, I'm still keeping them..!

Sort by "To" is required in folders

In the Sent folder, can you add a sort option of Sent To. I'm looking for an email I sent to an individual & noticed that sort was not an option. Thank you advance for your consideration.

Please allow sorting by the "to" field for "sent items"

Wow, April of 2018. My mistake. Yeah, this really isn't coming back then. Bravo for the atrocious update and still not restoring basic functions that should have never been removed to start with.

Since this was made in April I'm going to assume the feature won't be coming back. Always enjoy spending 3 hours trying to find an email I eventually give up looking for because I can't just search by who I sent emails to and find it in 15 seconds like I could before you removed the ability to do that. Neat.

Agree with all the comments below - why can't I sort sent items by recipient? Only date and size, so frustrating!

AGREE!!!! Why would MS remove this option???

I would like to be able to sort my "Sent Items" folder by "Sent To" and be able to delete all emails sent to a specific person by checking their boxes. Currently you can only sort by date and size which is absolutely pointless!!

RETURN THE SORTING BY WHO THE EMAIL WAS SENT TO PLEASE.
Honestly. The LEAST helpful thing to remove -- is Sort by Sent.
TWO options?? Date and Size?? C'mon

When sorting folders there is a list of 5 options that appear. But unlike all other folders, the 'Sent Items' folder only has 2 options. Among those missing is to sort by name, making it extremely difficult to find an email in a large folder. PLEASE give the 'Sent Items' folder the same sorting options as all the other folders have.

When I go into my "Deleted Items" file, I am able to sort messages by "Date, From, Size, Importance or Subject". But when I access my "Sent Items" file, I can only sort by "Date or Size". Why can't I sort these messages by who they are going to?

Why can't I sort my sent items by who they are To??
Ridiculous!!!
Used to be able to do it.
It's obvious.
What genius decided to remove it? -

Seriously .. this rebuild is DISASTROUS ... not only has sent mail been destroyed by not providing 'sort by name' I now discover that I cannot delete folders that I no longer use!!!!
