Sorting by date does weird stuff

[xinelo]

Dear all,

I don't know whether this is a bug or a known issue someone can say how to avoid.. If it's a bug, I don't know how someone else could reproduce it without accessing my email account..

Here it goes:

# Steps:
I click on the Date column to sort by date

# Expected results
The arrow is point upwards, more recent on top.

# Actual results
Most emails are sorted by date (more recent on top), but some are not. I get dates:

29/7/22
20/7/22
14/7/22
4/4/19
29/6/22
17/6/22
30/5/22
etc.



Any ideas how to avoid that? Thanks.
Cheers, Manuel

Right click on the name of the folder in which you are observing this and select “Properties” and then click on “Repair folder” to cause Thunderbird to rebuild the .msf file, an index of the folder’s contents.

Thanks, DanRaisch.

I followed your suggested steps, but now messages in the Inbox folder seem even more messed up. See:



Any further ideas?

Thanks.
Cheers, Manuel

If you go into the messages with the out of order dates, do the dates in the header match those in the list?

Yes, they do. See:
