I do use "date & time" sorting and "Current Activity & Threading".  Its a shame it can't remember it and just add to it.  I'll have to start archiving or deleting old emails because the larger folders are taking longer and longer to process which gets a bit tedious (I log out a lot of times during the day as i have multiple users on this machine).
