SortBy Methods

The SortBy type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Arrival	Internal date and time of the message. This differs from the ON criteria in SEARCH, which uses just the internal date.
	Cc	Sorts on local part of the first "cc" address.
	Date	Sent date and time, as described in section 2.2.
	From	Sorts on local part of the first "From" address.
	Multiple	Returns multiple sort criteria.
	Reverse	Reverses specified sorter. Descending order is used. Note: REVERSE only reverses a single criterion, and does not affect the implicit "sequence number" sort criterion if all other criteria are identical. Consequently, a sort of REVERSE SUBJECT is not the same as a reverse ordering of a SUBJECT sort. This can be avoided by use of additional criteria, e.g., SUBJECT DATE vs. REVERSE SUBJECT REVERSE DATE. In general, however, it's better (and faster, if the client has a "reverse current ordering" command) to reverse the results in the client instead of issuing a new SORT.
	Size	Size of the message in octets.
	Subject	Base subject text.
	To	Sorts on local part of the first "To" address.
