I just deleted an email and wanted to retrieve it but could not find it on top of the Trash column as dates and emails are all mixed up. Previously all deletes were dated top down, most recent on top.

You usually sort items in a list by clicking a column header. If you click that same column header another time the you reverse the sort order in that column. So try to click the date column header another time.

Hi imengel,

This isn't a Firefox question, it's more of an email question. I would suggest consulting the documentation of your email provider. What service do you use? Gmaila, Yahoo Mail, etc?

Thank you, cor-el, your answer was helpful. I did get the emails in chronological order except for one stubborn one-but I can live with that. Thanks, imengel
