Tip #1. A Quick Way to Sort Your List of Emails in Gmail

Here’s a great tip for anyone who uses Gmail and doesn’t already know how to jump to the bottom (oldest email) of your list of emails in any Gmail folder. But did you know that you can jump to the oldest emails in your list of emails in Gmail with one click?

In your Gmail account. look for “1-100” right above the email list and hover over it until you see a dropdown menu. By default, Gmail shows your newest emails first. If you have not changed this, you’ll see “Oldest” in the menu. Click “Oldest” to go to the “bottom” (oldest) of your list of emails.
