In Yahoo Mail how can I sort by Sender?

Question

I used to be able to click on the heading of each column, and the email in my Inbox would be sorted by Date, Sender, or Subject.  It was SO convenient to sort by Sender, so I could delete all the emails from web pages at one time.  I haven't been able to do that recently, because there is just a spam email at the top, and no titles on the columns.

i have found four ways to sort by sender.  

Open an email
Click the Sender's name
Choose Search for Messages from . . . 

Type their name into the search bar.

While the message list is displayed, hover over the message line.  Part of the sender's name will be replaced with 3 icons, the first one - furthest to the left - will be a magnifying glass.  Click the magnifying glass to display a list of emails from that Sender.
 
Click the arrow next to View and select Sender to display your email list alphabetically by Sender's name.  

Note:  To use this last feature you will need to disable Conversations.  Conversations is when groups of emails are combined into one thread.  To disable Conversations:

On your Yahoo Mail page, hover over the gear icon in the upper-right corner
Select Settings
Select Viewing email
Locate Enable Conversations and uncheck the box to disable this feature
Click Save 

The "Spam email" at the top is not an email, it is a paid advertisement.  Please remember that Yahoo offers its services for free and much of their income is from advertisements.  The only way to get rid of this sponsored ad is to upgrade to Yahoo Ad Free Mail:
