Sorting parsed attachments from communications

A method for sorting parsed attachments from communications, the method comprising:

• displaying communications summaries associated with the communications within a communication summary view of a communication application interface, wherein at least two of the communications includes an attachment and wherein an indication of an included attachment is displayed in each communication summary associated with a communication that includes an attachment, and wherein the communication summaries are chronologically grouped;
• detecting an activation of an attachment element displayed in a proximity to the communication summary view;
• identifying a plurality of attachments included within the communications;
• and
• displaying an attachment summary associated with each of the identified plurality of attachments within an attachment summary view of the communication application interface separate from the communication summary view, wherein the attachment summaries are displayed within the attachment summary view of the communication application according to a same chronological grouping as the communication summaries as displayed within the communication summary view and wherein each attachment summary includes information regarding the associated attachment;
• and
• detecting an activation of a sorting element on the attachment summary view and, in response to the activation of the sorting element, updating the attachment summaries displayed within the attachment summary view of the communication application interface to sort the attachment summaries based on one or more of:
• an author of associated communications, a recipient of associated communications, a priority associated with the communications and assigned by the author of associated communications, and a timestamp of associated communications.

A computer-readable hardware memory device with instructions stored thereon for sorting parsed attachments from communications, the instructions comprising:

• displaying communications summaries associated with the communications within a communication summary view of a communication application interface, wherein at least two of the communications includes an attachment and wherein an indication of an included attachment is displayed in each communication summary associated with a communication that includes an attachment and wherein the communication summaries are chronologically grouped;
• detecting an activation of an attachment element displayed in a proximity to the communication summary view;
• identifying a plurality of attachments included within the communications;
• displaying an attachment summary associated each of with the identified plurality of attachments within an attachment summary view of the communication application interface separate from the communication summary view, wherein the attachment summaries are displayed within the attachment summary view according to a same chronological grouping as the communication summaries as displayed within the communication summary view and wherein each attachment summary includes information regarding the associated attachment;
• detecting an activation of a sorting element on the attachment summary view and, in response to the activation of the sorting element, updating the attachment summaries displayed within the attachment summary view of the communication application interface to sort the attachment summaries based on one or more of:
• an author of associated communications, a recipient of associated communications, a priority associated with the communications and assigned by the author of associated communications, and a timestamp of associated communications.
