[Evolution] Bug#429656: Please add sorting by date to defaul views in message list

[Alain Kalker]

Package: evolution
Version: 2.10.2-1
Severity: wishlist

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

After changing the message sorting order (by clicking on the 'Subject'
column, for example), switching back to one of the provided standard
views ('Messages', 'For Wide view', etc.) defaults to all columns being
unsorted, which has caused one of my clients to lose track of recent
emails on several occasions.

My request: please include sorting by date in the views for which it is
appropriate, or at least include a new 'By Date' view which sorts
messages by date.
