Sort by From disconnects from messages
Went to my Trash to sort it by the From name and found that all the messages were meaningless for that sender. Normally when you click a column heading and it sorts, all the data gets sorted with that column. Suddenly things are wrong. I did the sort on From and then the messages for each email from that person were not the messages from him. What has happened? Not a problem with the inbox that I can see, but my trash is wrong. Luckily when I re-sorted it by date everything was re-joined and made sense.

the problem is not the column heading. It is the sorting. But - that said, I went to do it again and lo and behold the problem has gone away.
I know, I know. It never happened and I was seeing things. I assure that I was not. And that it was a problem. But I can't duplicate it now, so case closed.

does the heading actually say From? it has been replaced in most situations with Correspondents. A very difference kettle of fish.
