Ah, thanks for that. However, I'm a little confused. The bugzilla says
this is fixed, and following the git tree it seems that 2.30.2 contains
the fix. I am running 2.30.2. Whilst I agree with your summary of how
you would expect the sorting to work, I am not seeing that happening. In
a folder of solely new messages, the newest one is highlighted, not the
oldest one.

As to the IMAP folders sorting suddenly changing around, yes I
occasionally see that. I put it down to the threading being re-sorted.
