So you want to download the entire set of messages to all 10000 of your

gratuitous extra traffic :)

I wouldn't suggest that we no longer support local sorting -- we'll
always have to talk to servers which can't do it for us, &c. But we
should definitely be able to use server-side sorting if it's available.
