Normally, my messages are ordered by the date, but if I move any message from one folder to another, it does appear on top, i.e. e.g. a year old message appears before most recent ones.
In other clients I've tested, the ordering is correct.
I tried setting sort=-r date
in config, but it doesn't do anything.
I suspect it may be connected to:
Sorting is not available for this backend.
when trying to execute :sort date
.
While it wouldn't be so surprising for smaller providers, but this error message also appears for Outlook?
If it isn't a bug, is there a chance of creating an option for client-side sorting?
OK, I've pocked around a little, and indeed, neither of my providers have sorting in IMAP capabilities.
And moving from folder to folder changes UIDs, so ordering goes bananas...
So in the end, is there a chance of implementing client-side sorting?
