173054 - Each threads should be sorted by a sort key: ex. Date.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 72493

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[u69748]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ja-JP; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ja-JP; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0

When we select Thread view in massage pane of MailNews, 
Each threads are NOT sorted by any keys, 
just physical order of the message folder.
It is very inconvenient.
I think threads should be sorted by some kind of sort key; 
ex. Date of the top message of the each thread.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select Thread view.
Actual Results:  
Example of Thread view:
thread1 with 5 messages Feb/1/2002
thread2 with 3 messages Aug/1/2002
thread3 with 1 message  Apr/1/2002
thread4 with 2 messages Jan/1/2002

Curretly order of each threads are depended on phisical 
order of the message folder.



Expected Results:  
Expected order:
thread4 with 2 messages Jan/1/2002
thread1 with 5 messages Feb/1/2002
thread3 with 1 message  Apr/1/2002
thread2 with 3 messages Aug/1/2002
