Celeste - How to sort by field? (correction)

(Corrects misleading typo in first paragraph)

The short answer is that you can NOT choose how messages are sorted,
other than by changing the underlying code. The selected messages are
always displayed in cronological order.

I actually don't miss the column based sorting much (this is not always
true though, and it would be nice to have in Celeste).  Using the
Subject and Participant filter, I can quickly find most historical
messages with ease.   A neat trick you can play is to also use the
custom filter to select the messages you want.  For instance, to display
the messages which are greater than 100kb, create a custom filter that
uses
	m textLength > 100000
And obviously that can be combined with the Subject and Participant
filter.
