TB not sorting messages correctly!!
I've used TB for many, many years and have never seen this before. TB is not correctly sorting the emails in my Sent box by date. The problem seems to be only in the Sent folder and only with the sort on Date --- sorting on the other columns seems to be OK. And the problem is not with a lot of the emails --- only an occasional email here and there which is not in date order. The problem occurs if I sort in ascending Date order and when I sort in descending Date order. I tried executing the Repair Folder command (in Folder Properties) but that has not fixed the problem. I'm using TB 102.2.2 (64 bit) on a Linux OS.

OK, sorry, I see now that this is evidently part of some changes to TB made recently to keep all of the emails in a thread together in the list. However, it still seems to me that it would have made more sense to show this thread in the list with the most recent date, not the earliest date! This would have kept the list sorted in date order still in date order (with the option to drill down in the thread to see the earlier entries in the thread). Does anyone know the rationale for showing these threads in the list with the date of the first email in the thread? This doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Thanks.
