Note: The thread order will be distinct between these two options (beyond being sim‐ ply reversed). When sorting by oldest-first the threads will be sorted by the oldest message in each thread, but when sorting by newest-first the threads will be sorted by the newest message in each thread. If what you are seeing is consistent with that, then I guess it's officially not a bug. I haven't looked at the code in question recently enough to estimate the difficulty of adding another sort order. Can you explain why it's an important feature for you? d _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
