        Hi,
could you define "broken" here, please? I sort by date, threaded or 
not, and it works for me. I use the development version though, 3.13.7.
Your sort issues can be related to this bug too:

Please note that the current stable version is 3.12.7, which means 
that yours 3.4.4 is about 4 years old. I checked changes in evolution 
between 3.5.4 and 3.13.7 inclusive, and evolution counts of 507 bug 
fixes, evolution-data-server counts of 335 bug fixes (maybe with few 
duplicates due to re-fixes and changes touching both evo and eds). 
These are only fixes paired with filled bugs, there had been more 
changes done without bug reports.
        Bye,
        Milan
