The best place is to go to the top bar and click on "Mail". In the drop down menu near the bottom is "Mail Settings". Click on that and there's a place to select the permanent sort order. BogusWoody, That is exactly the way I set it and I click SAVE after sorting it the way I want. Thank you for responding. Lloyd
