Hello!

I ran into the problem that I can't sort by star first (so all starred messages appear on top) and then date descending (so the newest messages within the starred and unstarred messages are at the top) on the unified inbox.

What usually works is first clicking on the date column and sorting accordingly, then clicking on the star column and doing the same. This still works on individual inboxes of accounts, but the unified inbox doesn't "remember" the previously sorted-by-column, so clicking on the star removes the sorting by date and instead presents a, as far as I can tell, random sorting within starred and unstarred messages.

My method had previously worked, but I had to delete the smart mailboxes folder since the unified sent folder had stopped working correctly, and since then I can't get my sorting scheme to work again.

How can I achieve the described behaviour on the unified Inbox?

Found the culprit myself by accident: Apparently, the described functionality can't be achieved with Threaded view, which I usually have turned off. For the unified folder, this got turned on after its recreation, and (since there is no "apply current view to..." for the unified folder), I missed it when I tried to mimick the folder where it worked.

Not exactly sure why Threaded view clashes with my sorting, but changing to Unthreaded resolves the issue.
