Sort by Flagged or Category
I'd love to be able to have my Flagged or Category-assigned email at the top of my inbox, similar to how Pinned emails work currently. The issue with Pinned emails is that it doesn't translate to the desktop or mobile apps, which severely limits the usefulness of the option.

The vote count is a definite indicator that this feature is somewhat important to a lot of folk ! A definite must have.

PLEASE, add this option to the filter !!! I am reading comments for the same request to Microsoft since 2017 and till nothing is done.
I am moving to old version of Outlook because of that option.
Please wake up, we are 2021..... -

It would really increase my efficiency and that of a number of others in my workplace, if Outlook Flagged or Categorised Emails could be sorted, like to the top of my Inbox or in another folder.

Couldn't agree more - The ability to sort by categories in your inbox is a must for sure!
Please add this feature to the web based version as it would assist with filtering our inbox.

When viewing emails associate to a category, i cannot sort them by subject.
Request is to allow sorting email by subject when viewing email associated to a category

Sorting does not include sort by flag. Please add.

Yes! Please add the ability to sort by category in Outlook on the web. Otherwise, it makes using categories pretty inefficient.

I couldn't figure out how to sort by Categories. This is an important part of working effectively with emails and keeping things prioritized.

Why is it you cannot sort emails via categories?? That makes Outlook365 in a business setting obsolete.

Please add the ability to sort by category and allow more category options in the online outlook. This has been overlooked for too long and is overdue.

I noticed that you reduced the categories we could sort our email drafts by in the sort menu. Please at least bring back the feature where we could sort our drafts by name!

Why can't I search / filter my emails by category? I can apply a category, but there's no way to filter or search on it, or create a smart folder that bundles emails with the category.
