Description Silviu Marin-Caea 2005-12-06 09:21:20 UTC

The default sort order for folders is really awkward.  Sort on Subject, or Sender?!

It should be sorted on Date (Order of arrival).

I have configured Kmail Appearance for Threaded message list.

this is really a big usability problem, some uninit variable - if we're lucky. If not, it's some mean compilation problem. So this should be checked before KDE 3.5.1 goes out (which is soonish)

Comment 3 Dirk Mueller 2006-01-09 13:57:05 UTC

I don't think its an uninitialized variable - its initialized correctly in the constructor. I also guessed for a miscompilation, also because I currently cannot reproduce it anymore.

Comment 4 Dirk Mueller 2006-01-11 12:25:24 UTC

ok, found it.

Comment 5 Dirk Mueller 2006-01-11 12:29:50 UTC

fixed for 10.1

Comment 6 Silviu Marin-Caea 2006-02-19 11:18:44 UTC

It's back in beta4 (sorted on Subject).  Was fixed in beta3.

Comment 7 Silviu Marin-Caea 2006-02-19 11:21:51 UTC

Hmm, I see that after changing in two folders, everything else is as it should (sorted on date).

But when I have first opened it, it was on Subject.

Clean installation, new profile.

Comment 8 Silviu Marin-Caea 2006-02-19 11:32:22 UTC

After doing some more clicking in the configuration to complete the set up, I returned back to the main window.  And there was "sort on Subject" peeking its ugly head.

After clicking on Date, it's gone again from all the other folders.

However, I have kept the local inbox untouched, as evidence that the bug really exists.  The local inbox is sorted on Subject.

My real accounts are all IMAP.

Comment 9 Dirk Mueller 2006-02-23 13:28:53 UTC

for which folder? the local inbox? worksforme. 

or the inbox of a dimap?

Comment 10 Dirk Mueller 2006-02-27 10:19:22 UTC

ok, I can reproduce now.

Comment 11 Silviu Marin-Caea 2006-02-27 10:41:09 UTC

This bug doesn't show up in beta5 on my machine.

All folders are sorted on date.

Fixed?

Comment 13 Silviu Marin-Caea 2006-03-06 08:29:08 UTC

It's fine in beta6 too.  I'm closing the bug.
