Version: 1.11.4 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4), Arch Linux) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.29-ARCH In KMail, the messages cannot be sorted using the "Important" column. Sorting works fine with Subject, Sender, Date and Size, but not with "Important". I have not tried other columns.
can confirm with KDE 4.3. Clicking on the header of the "important" or "watched" column does show the sort indicator in the header but does not actually sort the messages.
Same pb in 4.4.8
Still reproduceable in on KDE 4.9.3. Please move to kmail2, component "message list". Should be an easy fix.

Ouch. So not at all an "easy fix"... Awesome that you nevertheless fixed it rightaway!
Sorting by "Important" still doesn't work in my nightly 4.10 pre. Sorry for my uninformed question, but will the changes be automatically merged in at a later time during the 4.10 rollout?
