265869 - Bad sorting in virtual folders after moving messages.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 268981

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Nickolay_Ponomarev]

I have a saved search over inbox and its subfolders and Sent - sorted by date
After I move some messages from Inbox to Sent they change their position in the
virtual folders - more specifically the moved messages appear at the bottom of
the list despite their "date" value.

version 0.8 (20041022) / WinXP

Steps to reproduce:
1. Put message A in folder 1, message B in folder 2.
2. create a virtual folder containing messages A and B. Sort it by date by
clicking on the Date column header. 
(Assume A appears before B in the VF).
3. move the A message from folder 1 to folder 2 (drag and drop)
4. open the VF.

Actual: B is before A

Expected: A is before B.

Sarah and I reviewed this bug during our triage. Doesn't seem to be critical for
1.0.

Could this be related to Bug 268026?

[Kurt Jaeke]

All these bugs could be the same, IMHO: the problem is always the
non-persistence of the sort order in virtual folders. 

Bug# 268026
Bug# 265869
Bug# 268981

Access protocols (POP/IMAP/local) seem to play no role in this. 

Please inspect further! 
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Agree on dupe; the one I've picked as "the bug" already has three dupes against 
it.
