Confirming for Daily 114.0a1 (2023-04-28) (64-bit), Win10 - weird side effect related to the interim state where we've replaced the Vertical View tabular format with the new cards UI.

STR
- For best illustration: In `≡ > View > Layout > Classic View`, reduce number of columns via message list's column picker, e.g. uncheck all columns except Date, Correspondents, Subjects.
- Change to `≡ > View > Layout > Vertical View`, which currently offers only cards UI (pending Bug 1823019).
- Then, try to change the sort order of the cards, atm only possible via `Main menu > View > Sort by > ...` and check out fields available for sorting.

Actual
- Only columns visible in Classic or Wide View are available as sort order options for Vertical View's cards mode, which makes no sense (ux-implementation-level).
- User has no way of understanding this from the UI.

Expected
- Not sure, but certainly not the currently offered sort options defined/limited by choices from another view.
- Give the user more options to sort the cards list (which would probably involve showing the field on the card, because sorting by invisible data doesn't make much sense).
