Hello David,

Indeed. I couldn't get the VoiceOver cursor into the column headings
themselves in order to click. Thanks to some advice from my Twitter
followers, though, I was able to accomplish it by pressing
VO-Shift-Backslash.

Hi D;

Mail help says:
"
Sorting messages
You can change the order in which messages are displayed in the Mail viewer
window.

To sort messages:

Click a column header in the viewer window. For example, to sort messages by
sender, click the From column header.

        . To reverse the sort order, click the column header again.

        .

",
but I cannot get it to work.

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to configure Mail so that it sorts messages in descending order
with respect to the date they were received. I have figured out how to
ensure received date is selected in the View menu, but how I change it from
ascending to descending order?

I've looked everywhere I currently know, and haven't found this answer, so I
hope this isn't a stupid question. If it is, well, I'm a Mac newbie, so
please go easy on me... :-)

Thanks,

Darrell
