I don't fully understand what you mean, but have an inkling that you are talking about this issue that Kyle Jones dismissed:
"I thought we covered this already. If the root message ID is different, the message are sorted by the date of the oldest message in the thread. If the root message ID is the same the messages are sorted by message ID. VM doesn't make any attempt to sort messages by date within a thread. So the ordering of sibling messages is essentially random. " See the thread http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.vm.info/browse_thread/thread/b8a1d89af55ab28d/afdd69da5489412e?lnk=gst&q=thread+sorting#afdd69da5489412e I can add this to the wish list, but my guess is that it is not easy to add given the way Kyle implemented the whole sorting stuff. Are you finding that the internal order inside the threads is getting jumbled? If so, I suggest that you take the vm-sort.el from the current trunk or wait and try the 8.1.0-beta release which should be out soon.

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Triaged Bug description: I would like to both show threads (i.e. set vm-summary-show-threads) and have them sorted in reversed-date order. But it appears that there is no way to control the sort order of threads. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~vm Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~vm More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
