1614203 - Date column sorting symbol bug is not correct initially.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[l0f4r0]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/79.0.3945.131 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a new account
2. Observe default date sorting symbol (^/v) inside folders

Actual results:

The sorting symbol (arrows ^ or v) is not correct initially.
By default, arrow ^ is dispayed but emails are sorted date ascending so it doesn't correspond to the symbol.
If you mouse-over the sorting symbol, arrow is automatically reversed and becomes v by itself so it's good now (emails sorting is not modified and are still date ascending).
All's well that ends well but if you do nothing you don't have the correct sorting symbol. You need to mouse-over it to make it match the actual sorting.

Expected results:

Arrow should be v by default, not ^ which doesn't correspond to the initial date ascending sorting.

Do you see this with version 78?

There is bug 571788 and bug 1416232

My view is Sort by > Date > Ascending and this is what I see.

User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/78.8.0
OS Linux 5.10.19-200.fc33.x86_64

In 78.8.0 on Windows 10 the sort order is the same but the column shows Date ^.

No, I cannot reproduce it now with 78.10.0 64bits.
