Sort Gmail Messages by Subject

Published in: JavaScript 

This is a very simple bookmarklet that will temporarily sort the visible messages in Gmail by subject. You'll have to run it again each time Gmail refreshes the list.

Sort Gmail Messages

roryok found a few caveats when the list is sorted:

  1. Shift-clicking to select multiple messages will no longer work.
  2. If you archive or delete messages, they will not disappear.

I like the idea behind this and I'd like to get it to work. I assumed that I could drag the link at the top of the page to my bookmark bar and click it when I'm on my gmail page, although that didn't work. What do I need to do to get this working on my gmail account?

Well, Google changes the Gmail page every now and then. I'll try to update it when I get a chance.

Posted By: wizard04 on August 27, 2009

Okay, the code was correct; I just forgot to change the link. It works now.

Posted By: roryok on October 27, 2009

I had to change one line of code in this to get it working...

changed

document.getElementById('canvas_frame').contentWindow.document.getElementById(":op");

to

document.getElementById(":on");

Posted By: roryok on October 27, 2009

sorry, thats wrong it should just change ":op" to ":on"

UPDATE:

change document.getElementById('canvasframe').contentWindow.document.getElementById(":op"); to document.getElementById('canvasframe').contentWindow.document.getElementById(":on");

Thanks, roryok. It's still working for me, but I've had that problem before - sometimes an element gets renamed just for the hell of it and I haven't figured out why. I'll take a look at it when I get a chance.

I've also just modified this to sort by sender, http://snipplr.com/view/21960/sort-gmail-messages-by-sender/

(my first snipplr post! yay!)

Posted By: wizard04 on October 27, 2009

Huh. For me, :op is still correct; :on is the cell containing the first checkbox. Out of curiosity, which theme are you using?

Posted By: roryok on October 27, 2009

i'm using the 'classic' theme... I wonder if it has something to do with labs features?

Posted By: wizard04 on October 28, 2009

It is the labs! I'll figure out which one it is...

Posted By: wizard04 on October 28, 2009

Out of the labs that I have enabled, the Quick Links one is causing the problem.

Posted By: wizard04 on October 28, 2009

Okay, now it finds the table by its class. See if it works for you.

I have highlighted the contents of line 10 and pasted it my Safari browser but I can't get my Gmail to sort by subject. Is there something I missed?

Posted By: wizard04 on March 29, 2010

It still works in Safari 3.2 Win on my computer. You could try logging in with labs turned off; sometimes those change IDs and stuff so scripts don't work. https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0
