            Bug ID: 315638
           Summary: Clicking on column headers does not sort ascending or
                    descending
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: UI
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Clicking on a column header does not sort the contents ascending or descending
according to the category of the column. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to view any folder in your mail
2. Click on a header (e.g. date, sender)
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The contents of the mail folder should be sorted ascending or descending
according to that category (e.g. clicking the 'sender' header should sort your
emails by sender in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order).

The aggregation settings have no effect on this. 

Workaround: 

There is a simple enough work-around. Right click on a column header -->
'sorting' and choose how you want to sort. 

This has problems though. Sorting in this manner sometimes resizes the column
widths and sometimes also hides columns. Sorting by date in particular both
resizes columns and hides the 'subject' column fairly reliably, about 8 out of
10 times.
