            Bug ID: 375791
           Summary: Changing sort field in message list loses position
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.2.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: message list
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: dav1dblunk3tt at hotmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

In "flat date view" (not sure about others) if I view an email and then press
one of the fields to sort (ie I originally sort by date and I choose sort by
subject) then I end up viewing a different email.

What should happen is I should still view the <same> email before I changed
sort key.

As an example, I sort by date to find an email sent on 25/12/16 with the
subject aardvarks.  Then I click on "subject" to sort by subject and I should
still be viewing the same email subject "aardvarks" sent on the 25/12/16 only
this time all the emails with the subject "aardvarks" would now be adjacent in
the message list.

What happens is I get and email about car hire which is ~1/2 down the list and
have to refind the aardvarks thread.

Strangely the email that I warp to always stays the same, regardless of which
way I change the sort.  The only email that I don't warp away from when
changing the sort field is the one it warps to.

This behaviour is very counter-intuitive and very annoying!
