The current algorithm (see sort.c, function "compare_to") is to
sort by "real name" if present, or the address otherwise.
Grouping those together might make sense to some people, but not
to others, so any change would need to be configurable. Always
sorting by email address would be easy, but since the index menu
typically displays the real name, the sort order might appear to
be somewhat random in that case.
I'd have to go look closely, but I think the reason that happens
is that we parse the header field in order to wrap it properly. I
agree that it really should display the raw contents of the
message.
