Since upgrading to iOS 18 on my iPhone 14, when searching in Mail, the results are not returning in date order. Emails from 2021 onwards are showing first and then I have to scroll to find the most recent emails, which are then showing in ascending order. Any ideas?
iPhone 13, iOS 18
Ridiculous that this has not been fixed as it renders Mail as being completely unreliable for anything important. I haven’t looked yet but how hard would it be to move old messages into another email program like Outlook?
i see a lot of the same problem- email search not showing in date sequence- but no apparent solution.
Where are the solutions or is there no fix?
Not for me…
I found by using the 3 dots top left of mailbox on iPhone choosing LIST puts the mail in proper sequence. Also in settings turn on ‘most recent update on top’.
Nope, if you search someone where there are yrs of old emails, those suggestions (list and most recent) don’t work. The Apple support person supposedly working on this with me has gone silent.
fixed with update to iOS 18.4 for me
I should add that it occurs when I do a search for email from a particular person.
This worked for me! It was already turned on but I toggled it off and back on and they are sorting correctly and STAYING that way. Thanks!
That works - hopefully they won’t break it again
Thanks
Thanks! This did it. What a relief. But why is this not toggled on by default? It must have driven millions to madness, by now...
This did it! Thanks!
