Your description doesn't accurately describe the behavior I'm
seeing. The reason I think this is a bug is that I CAN get the sort
behavior that I want, it just requires sorting on an unrelated axis first.
That is, I can't go ascending date -> descending date -> ascending
date, but I can go ascending date -> descending date -> ascending
subject -> ascending date. Regardless of which order the sorting is
taking place in, this indicates to me that there's some kind of bug
somewhere.
As for the sorting/threading issue, it seems to be as if it DOES
sort the threads as units. The issue is that right now it seems to use
the root of the thread as the source of the sort information, whereas
the suggestion was to use the newest or oldest message in the thread.
Personally I'm not too concerned about this, although the suggestion
does seem reasonable. I do think, though, that the bug I'm describing
exists independently of this other issue.
