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.

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?

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