When I set the order of the display of message headers, how do I make
them "stick"?

For example, in my Inbox, they are in random order. In another folder,
they are inverse date!!!

What's the secret????

Thanks.

Choose a box inside the folder and pull down the View menu. Select
"Sort By", and choose the parameters for sorting.

answer in other post - curious, though, how Inbox is in random order -
I've always seen it in /some/ order - or did you mean it picks out an
order (alpha,date,etc.) randomly?

Not really. I said that I know how to set the order. You told me how to
set the order.

I set the order to be date, oldest at top. When new mail comes in it is
inserted at random places in that list.

Great! That appears to fix the ordering problem.

Many thanks.
