Hi.

Are there any possible option to sort messages in Trash folder by
date/time of deletion?
Sometimes, you already have few thousand messages in Trash, you delete
some message and you can't find it in Trash. It is possible to sort it
so to see messages deleted right now?

While viewing the trash folder, use the little button on the far right
to add the Order Received column and sort descending, either by clicking
the column or with View, Sort By, Order Received + descending.

Well, but what if I received today 100 messages, 99 were spam and 1
deleted accidentally, how can I find it quickly?

Sorted the way I described puts the most recently deleted email on top,
in order of when they were deleted. At least that's what happened when I
tested it to find the solution for you. Did it work for you?

Yes.
in ANY folder
Sort the emails by date I use Ascending so the oldest are at the bottom but it doesn't matter ascending or descending

Then click on the message at one end of the date range.
move the cursor to the other end of your date range press SHIFT and then click that message

A whole block of messages will be highlighted.
you can delete them
