1719796 - Handle custom sorts in MailTab API

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Add-Ons: Extensions API, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Currently the MailTab API is missing handling of custom sorts. It will tell you there is a "custom" sort, and let you attempt to set it, but you are unable to select the column which actually gets sorted.

Implementing this would also require being able to get a list of the existing custom columns.

Bug 1615801 may help with making it simpler to get custom columns that have been created by WebExtension, but I'm not sure it would be necessary to be able to fix this.
