224030 - Clicking on Date to put newest posts at top breaks threading.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 219787

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[user245]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: .3 milstone

Clicking on Date to put newest posts at top breaks threading.  I can't put the
newest posts at the top of the pane without the threads breaking and getting a
flat list of all the posts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on Date widget
2. Scroll up
3.

Actual Results:  
The Newest posts are at the top, but the threading is now broken. I have to goto
view>messages>threaded to restore them.  TB should not be breaking the threading
setting when changing listing from newest to oldest/top to bottom.

Expected Results:  
Should reorganize without breaking the threading.

I have confirmation that this happens to another user via mozillazine boards.

sorting by "threads" again also sorts by date - ascending or descending, this is
either a WONTFIX, or a dupe of the secondary sorting bug.

The feature implemented at the dupe has been in TB since 0.5.
