spun off from bug 379806 - switching sorts in threaded cross-folder views rebuilds the view from the existing headers, which loses track of which threads were expanded, and rebuilds all the thread objects. See nsMsgSearchDBView::Sort for what we're doing now, and nsMsgThreadedDBView::SortThreads for an algorithm that could be adopted for the xf view thread case. I'll take this for now and put it in the b2 bucket because I don't think it's critical yet.
marking as p2 for the combined issue of losing track of which threads are expanded, and the perf issue.
Priority: -- → P2
(riding the tails of the other recently active bugs involving sorts) I think this could be nice. Irving might you be interested? Or suggest someone who could take this on?

Hartmut, would you expect this to still be a problem?

Summary: switching sorts in cross-folder threaded views could be faster → switching sorts in cross-folder / Unified Folder with threaded views could be faster

While I don't see this as a problem, the description for this bug is still true, so let us change this to task.
