Re: [Evolution] Noob on sorting ..





I want to sort on 'received',  which ( -> sort received ) by, works, but I
can't seem to make the first message be at the top, and last message at
bottom.  Ascending and Descending seem to be based on something other than
'received'.  How to do?

There are two different columns - "Date" and "Received" - "Date" is the
date on the message itself and "Received" is the date it is received. 
If you are interested in the received date, make sure you add that
column so you can see what's happening.

Sort order is also affected by threading - grouping by threads takes
precedence and the sorting is effectively by the date(s) on the most
recently received message in the thread.

BTW, you can also change the sorting criteria by clicking in the column
header - multiple clicks changes the sort order between ascending and
descending. The column it is sorted on is shown by an up or down arrow
in the right of the column header.
