Sorting emails by date doesn't work
Often I need to see the history of a conversation, and for that I need to have emails listed chronologically.
I would expect that clicking on the date header (which tooltip "Sort by date") would do that, but it's not the case).
For example: https://imgur.com/hhCd9zF.png (also attached).
In the screenshot, from top to bottom, you can see emails sent in July 2023, then August 2023, then July 2023 again, then more August 2023. The order is clearly messed up.
I've had this issue for a very long time and it's very hampering.
Thanks. Cheers, Manuel

I forgot to mention I use version 115.12.2 (64-bit)
Sorting by date works within the confines of the threading. So turn off threading in the relevant folder and I think you issue will go away.
