Sorting on the attributes which are critical for B1 does work, so this doesn't
seem like a B1 stopper.
Summary: [FEATURE] View|Sort|by * does not work → [FEATURE] View|Sort|by * does not work on some attributes
Target Milestone: M14 → M15
Target Milestone: M15 → M16
Which of these are still broken on the tip?  Clicking the column headers and
using the menu "seem" to work in M15.  Is it that they're not sorting correctly?

Marking M17.  Move it back if there's some egregious problem here.

Fenella is talking about the menu items, I believe, Steve.
*** Bug 34831 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
[FEATURE] bugs past M16 are OUT for this release.  Marking M20.  If you disagree 
with this action, please help me explain it to the PDT.
Target Milestone: M17 → M20
If we are not going to be able to sort by these items, we need to take them out 
of the menu.  

I'd love to sort by unread though :-(
As I've been mentioning in many other bugs, I'm not sure why we couldn't fix 
these after M16.  The word "Feature" runs a wide spectrum of meanings and this 
is on the end where it's basically a bug.
Target Milestone: M20 → M17
these are just bugs. removing feature.
Summary: [FEATURE] View|Sort|by * does not work on some attributes → View|Sort|by * does not work on some attributes
moving to M18 and nominating for beta3.
