Sort Order in Mail Attachments Window Solved

[Steve Matzura]

If you're sending a file via an email attachment from a Mac and are 
having trouble getting the directory to sort in the order you want, do 
the following:



1.In Mail, create a new message.

2. Open the Attach Files dialog (Shift+Command-A).

3. Navigate (browse, if you prefer) to the directory containing the 
file(s) you want attached to the currently open outbound mail message.


4. Focus on any file in the list and interact with it.

5. VO-Left Arrow and interact with the object there. This is the bar 
that goes across the top of all file lists and which contains the column 
headers.


6. Down Arrow through the list until you find the sort order you want, 
and press VO-Spacebar.


7. Stop interacting with the column headers

8. VO-Right Arrow back to the file list and stop interacting with it.


Your file list is now in the desired order.

Re: Sort Order in Mail

[E.T.]

   I thought I would revisit this again just now. I actually was able 
to delete some, both in Charter and in iCloud. Gmail is fine as its not 
in use.


   Two I cannot remove from Charter are Spam and Sent Mail. I can live 
with this. I suppose I could go to the Charter site but maybe at a later 
date.

There is a place in Gmail settings to hide a specific label from IMAP

to be enabled in experimental mode.

I don't think there is a way to hide specific folders in the Mail
application, though you might be able to fudge things with creating
smart folders that meet your needs  and then closing the provider tree.

In mail which has a "sort pop up button" this is a bit easier to do.
Click the sort button and then move to the bottom of the list of
sort
options. There you will find Oldest on top or newest on top.
