        Hi,
do you have enabled threaded view? It's in View->Group Messages by
Thread. Threads can shift messages around, that's expected, when they
are sorted by the newest message in the thread.

You should add them, if you really want to touch those directories
yourself on the file system level, into the `new` directory. It's the
place where the new messages (new for the Maildir reader) are supposed
to be placed. Maybe search for the Maildir RFC to know how the things
are supposed to work.

I can be completely wrong with this, but maybe you've checked Edit
->Preferences->Mail Preferences->Apply the same view to all folders.
When that's off, the View->Current View->... applies to the selected
folder only (and all the folders using the same View).

        Bye,
