Let's make it clear with an example ;-)

Say somebody sends me an email, let's call it "A", on
   January 1st, 10:00
but that email stays stucked in some intermediate email server and gets
delivered to my inbox 8hs later, so at 18:00.

Somebody else sends me email "B" on
   January 1st, 14:00
and this one gets delivered immediately.

Sorting Date would list them as "A B"
whereas sorting by "Arrival Date" would list them "B A"


* Another variation of this problem:
all like above, except that the one sending me the email "A" has the clock
incorrectly set in his computer (say, 1st of Feb instead of 1st Jan ;-)
and the email gets sent with the "Date:" field set in the future.
Then sorting by Date would give "B A", sorting by Arrival gives "A B"


Anyways, Sort Order "None (storage order)" could be just what we miss here (not
sure though, can some devel confirm this?)
But it doesn't allow to _reverse_ the ordering (most recently arrived on top of
th list).
