Gmail filter for dates?

Question

Is there a filter in Gmail that will sort your emails by date?

For example if you get filters from address "X" on a certain day of the week, can you create a folder for just that mail (with an autoresponder if possible).

Answer 1

No, but you can always make a filter with characteristics of the e-mails.

Answer 2

Just put: before:2011/01/01 and you'll get old emails. Better this than nothing...
