Works fine for me, too. I frequently re-sort searches by Sender, date,
relevance, etc. Sounds like, for some reason, your computer is
interpreting your click as a click-and-hold. That'd certainly be the
correct behavior if you were dragging column headings. Could be a mouse
driver problem, if you're using a third-party mouse, or USB Overdrive.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it
to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it.
Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because
every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me,
receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his
taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should
freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and
mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to
have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made
them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their
density at any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and
have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive
appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property."
-Thomas Jefferson on intellectual property.
