Changing sort order from 'Date' to 'Received' does not change the messages sort order.

Here is a screenshot which illustrate a problem: http://rugby-forum.ru/temp/received.jpg . I received a spam message with fake 'Date' field: 01.03.2024. But this message has valid 'Received' field: 05.11.2009. Just to get this message from the bottom of my message list I changed the sort from 'Date (Ascending)' to 'Received (Ascending)'. And this does not change anything.

I even tried to rebuild the Spam folder indexes and restart TB - no results. What is wrong here. I'm attaching two messages from this thread to this report.

Reproducible: Always

Doesn't have to be spam emails - the emails shown in the attached image do all have a valid 'Date:' header and were generated either by swaks, or a Domino server.

Does repairing the folder helps ?

"received" is not necessarily by date, and the column header is now different.
Regardless, Valery reports "stopped to use Thunderbird long ago (after switching OS)."
