Is there an setting or add-on that will allow to me create advanced sorting options. I basically want to recreate the "Smart Inbox" feature of the email app Spark.

I would like for my inbox to show all unread mail at the top, followed by stared emails and then everything else sorted by date.

I don't think you can have all these filters applied at once, but with Saved Searches there could be two folders: the first saved search has Status filters as in the attached picture, and the second has the same filters with is replaced by isn't and vice versa. A saved search can be defined for multiple folders, such as the Inbox for all accounts.

A similar result could be achieved with custom views.
