Sorting e-mails by category? vs. microsoft:s sorting mail by days?

microsoft"s outlook 20210 sorts its mail into categories entiltled date: today, yesterday,tuesday,monday,last week,two weeks ago,three weeks ago and older. With windows live if you sort the mail by date(ascending or descending order) the e-mail is shown as  one(in one window) column with no separation by dates as outlook does.  Or am i wrong? what can be done about this.   Visually it frustrates me>  Certainly in a new version of windows live mail 2013 this should be done.  Thanks!
