This is SVN revision 247:
When sorting by date (displaying Messages 1 to 64 of 1211) with the
arrow in the "Date" column pointing up (sorry forthis, but I really
can't figure out how it's _supposed_ to be sorted...), the sorting is
pretty much random I'll give you a little overview:
1 Sun 14:50 (Source: Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 14:50:51 +0200)
2 09.02.2006 17:14 (Source: Date: Thu, 09 Feb 2006 16:14:58 +0100)
3 10.02.2006 18:47 (Source: Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 17:47:48 +0100)
4 17.03.2006 18:11 (Source: Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 17:11:25 +0100)
..
15 12.07.2006 14:51 (Source: Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 14:51:53 +0200)
16 Tue 14:04 (Source: Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2006 14:04:36 +0200)
17 11.01.2006 12:20 (Source: Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 11:20:53 +0100)
..
62 12.07.2006 14:37 (Source: Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 14:37:47 +0200)

This happens with both Pretty Dates on and off, and in several
folders
in a similar way.
I hope this helps!
Could it be your IMAP server returning them in this order? What
IMAP server
are you using?
I'm using Courier on one of my RC setups, and in a couple
rudimentary tests,
it sorted properly. I took a really old message and stuck it in a
folder,
and checked it in Thunderbird and Roundcube - When sorted by date
in RC it
was in the proper order, and in TB it has an option to sort by
received
order, and in that case it showed up last, as it was the 'newest'
entry in
the folder. So for me it appears to be working fine with Courier.
Also, are those message dates right? If you view the source of those
messages that are in the middle of the list, and check the headers,
do the
times the server received the message match up with what's reported
in the
Date field? Just curious.

Just to add fuel to this fire, I'm transitioning from Cyrus 2.2 to
Dovecot, and the same mailbox in both sorts all wrong with Cyrus, and
just fine with Dovecot.
The same mailboxes display and sort properly in Thunderbird when
coming from both server software.
