I use "latest at the bottom" with threading and this sort of thing has always annoyed me. One suspects that the devs don't use this mode or it would have been fixed a long time ago.+1 for fixing it -- I thought there was a bugzilla entry for this.. but I can't seem to find it. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-listIsn't this normal behavior for other email clients (Thunderbird, Outlook)? I normally sort latest at the bottom, threaded, but I do at times need to sort on sender or subject. A single click on the column heading is very handy for this, so... +1 for leaving it be. Thanks, Rick _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-listI was commenting on the fact that threaded sorting with latest emails at the bottom seems to be broken ( one click sorting on headers is fine with me, I prefer it actually ). The issue I see is that if you sort by date such that latest emails are at the bottom, and you have threaded sorting on, thread location is determined by the datestamp of the first email in the thread rather than the last email in the thread. This results in threads that are 'up the ladder and out of the viewing window' receiving new responses that I as the user do not see unless I scroll up the viewing window. I believe that the thread location in the viewing window should be determined by the datestamp of the last email received for the thread.Reid, Thanks for the explanation. I can see that this would be a problem. I've just installed 2.12 from svn and I don't see the problem you describe. Maybe it's been fixed? Thanks, Rick
