inbox sort order problem

[Hardy Merrill]

I'm using mbox format, and I have procmail filtering ALL
my mail into one of 3 mailboxes - 2 mailing lists get
filtered into one mailbox each, and everything else gets
filtered into =INBOX-Mutt.  I also have these 3 folder-hooks:

folder-hook =INBOX-Mutt set sort=reverse_date_received
folder-hook =in-l-dbiusers set sort=threads
folder-hook =in-l-muttusers set sort=threads

Sometimes I notice that when I go into one of the mailing
list mailboxes, and then come back to the INBOX-Mutt
mailbox that the messages are NOT in the order I specified
in the =INBOX-Mutt folder-hook.  Is this the way it is
supposed to work?  My impression is that whenever I go into
=INBOX-Mutt the order should be what I specified in the
folder-hook.  Am I wrong?

Thanks.

Yes, you're right. 
I had a smiliar problem until I moved 

set sort=[some way]

above folder-hook lines.
