I was thinking as that too in the past, because my server at home having feature "download base on message size" (less first), if I activate this feature my sort order going strange :-( But in other side I think I must trust my PC clock than others :-), and there are more complex situation will raise up if using such "feature", for instance : message live will not work as expected.
