Description davidblunkett 2017-01-31 11:37:22 UTC

In "flat date view" (not sure about others) if I view an email and then press one of the fields to sort (ie I originally sort by date and I choose sort by subject) then I end up viewing a different email.

What should happen is I should still view the <same> email before I changed sort key.

As an example, I sort by date to find an email sent on 25/12/16 with the subject aardvarks.  Then I click on "subject" to sort by subject and I should still be viewing the same email subject "aardvarks" sent on the 25/12/16 only this time all the emails with the subject "aardvarks" would now be adjacent in the message list.

What happens is I get and email about car hire which is ~1/2 down the list and have to refind the aardvarks thread.

Strangely the email that I warp to always stays the same, regardless of which way I change the sort.  The only email that I don't warp away from when changing the sort field is the one it warps to.

This behaviour is very counter-intuitive and very annoying!
