Calvin,

You may or may not be able to sort -- I've never tried -- but you can 
set up vfolders for the different labels you use.  For instance, I have 
a filter that flags Red Hat Errata Alerts (emails advising of available 
system updates) as they arrive, and a vfolder set up that filters for 
that flag.  Vfolders -- IMO Evolution's best unique feature -- work much 
better for me in a situation where I want to easily group labels or 
other characteristics.  They, vfolders, are like saved filters that 
appear as folders.  A message satisfying multiple vfolder definitions 
will appear in all of those vfolders.  When working with messages in a 
vfolder, you are working with the message itself, not a copy.
