Hey, all! I've successfully run a backup of my main Gmail account and have initiated a restore to an archival account. I'm watching the restored e-mails come in, and I'm noticing that they're coming in in reverse order—i.e. newest to oldest. This is a problem for the following reason:
I get several hundred e-mails a day. It's too much trouble to weed through some 360,000 e-mails and delete the unwanted ones, so I regularly—every 2–3 years—archive my entire Gmail account to an archival account. The problem is, I'm now using Google One and have a 100 GB limit on my main e-mail, whereas the archival accounts all have the standard limit of 15 GB.
My backup folder is just under 22 GB. If the restore restores newer e-mails first, it'll miss the oldest 7 or so GB. How do I a) get the restore to restore the oldest e-mails first, and b) set the restore quota at just under 15 GB—say 14.75 GB? I tried setting the restore with the --memory-limit flag with "14.75GB", but it gave me "invalid int value".

Can anyone help? Thanks!
