Question

I need to sort my emails by Received time before processing them as I am processing emails and entering data from it into a database.

I need it so the newest email to be received gets put into the database to overwrite the older version (If there is an older version).

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Items item = (Outlook.Items)source.Items;

Source is the folder with the emails in it that I wanted sorted

I have tried these four ways:

            items.Sort("ReceivedTime", false);
            items.Sort("[ReceivedTime]", Outlook.OlSortOrder.olAscending);
            items.Sort("ReceivedTime", Outlook.OlSortOrder.olSortNone);
            items.Sort("[ReceivedTime]");

Which does not seem to sort it as It still puts the oldest into the database second, overwriting the newest submission.

Any Ideas?

Answer 1

it should be

items.Sort("[ReceivedTime]", false);

or true if you want them descending
