260057 - The column headings sort in the opposite direction then expected

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 227455

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Clemon Chang]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.8

In the window pane listing, the column headings sort the messages in the reverse
order that they should.

When the downwards arrow is showing next to a column heading, the listing should
show in reverse-alphabetical or reverse-cronological order.  However the
opposite is occurring.

Also, only the "Date" column should default to reverse-cronological ordering
(downward arrow) when clicked since this is the primary direction that most
users use it in.  (i.e. newest message at the top)  All other columns should
default to upward arrow ordering (i.e. when clicking "Subject" most users want
the subjects starting with the letter "A" to be the first).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click one of the column headings.


Actual Results:  
Incorrect sorting of messages.

Expected Results:  
Correct sorting of messages.
