I need to know how to add columns to my Outlook Folders. Those settings did not migrate to the new Outlook. There is no option to change columns with the Field Chooser. Very frustrating. Please help!!

    Already have a O365 subscription which allows use of classic version (for now). The nag button wants to switch to the new version which has less features.

    It seems that M$ is trying to merge the web version functionality with their local client which results in loss of functions.

    Respectfully, that's not the issue--I assume most folks here (like me) have a license for Outlook and are still using Classic Outlook, but want the "New Outlook" to have this feature.

    Pay the ransom. Buy a license for the Real Classic Outlook.

    The issue is not that we can't see the field sorters, it's that there is no option to choose additional fields to use for sorting.

    To change your view so that you can see From | Subject | Received Date, go to View Settings > Layout > Message Height. Make sure you select "Switch between one and multiple rows based on screen size". This fixed the issue for me.
