Ninoschka, do you see this? You had entered some sort bugs.
This bug I referred to was a very long list of mail message. However, in extreme simple case (eg: about 5 messages), sort works fine.

I was able to sort on Subject, Sender and Date and Status if there were a small number of messages in the Inbox. With many messages then sorting is strange as logged in Bug# 4731.
So is this a new bug or a duplicate of 4371?
Up to you. We can add Fenella's case to bug 4371 or track it here.

OK, my guess is that this is a duplicate of the sorting bug 4371. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 4371 ***
Now that I've marked this as a duplicate, how big was the list of messages and how much time did you give it to sort? It's definitely not instantaneous and could probably take a while if it's a large list.

Scott, you transposed the numbers in your 4/16 comments. The dup bug is 4731. Reopening to do so.

RE: Win32 build on Apr 16(1999-04-16-08) Sort on column subject, sender, date and status works fine. Using View|sort by subject, by date, by sender and by status works fine too. There are a total of 101 messages.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
RE: Linux build (1999-042108) Sort still does not sort properly on linux. Since this is a dup, I'll mark it verified.
