 Yes, I do see it with threading on.

 As to whether this is a bug or not, it's a more difficult question. This
is, in fact, related to the discussion in the other messages in this
thread. Currently M threads messages first and then sorts them inside each
thread and so threading overrides sorting. It's true that the result is
surprizing, to say the least, if there are no threads...

 Xavier, I do think it would be nice if we could sort the entire threads as
Martin proposed.
Pro:
 - should be faster (less stuff to sort!)
 - more logical if there are no threads (right now changing sort order
   doesn't do anything in this case, as reported by BrenBarn)

Con:
 - could have strange results when sorting by anything but date, but then
   I also always disable threading in such case (should we do this
   automatically?) so it doesn't seem like a huge problem

 This is certainly not the most urgent problem in Mahogany but I think it
would be nice if you could fix this -- I won't unfortunately have time to
do it myself.

 TIA,
VZ
