199477 - Thread sorting isn't always ascending when coming from flat sort

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 199217

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

As every sorting, thread sorting should be ascending when the user comes from
sorting by another column.

But it isn't. The current code just restores the previous thread sorting view if
any and thus keeps its sorting order.

MsgSortThreadPane() and MsgReverseSortThreadPane() ff. in threadPane.js rely on
 nsMsgThreadedDBView::Sort() doing what they command.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sort by thread
2. Sort by anything other (e.g. date)
3. Sort by thread
Actual Results:  
Thread sorting is only ascending if it was ascending before switching to sorting
by other column.

Expected Results:  
Thread sorting is always ascending.

Current code blocks bug 195832. Sorting indicated by new icon doesn't always
correspond to real sorting order.

Ok, duping this to bug 199217 because both problems are related closely.
