Emails not in the right order in folders...

I have Thunderbird 145.0 (64-bit) running on an uptodate installation of Windows 11 and have recently found that the email in folders do not always order themselves in the way they are supposed to. Although I have all my folders set to show emails in date order, with the newest at the top I am now sometimes finding new emails halfway down the list. This has happened several times in the last few weeks. I have "repaired" the folders every time I notice this but it has not solved the problem. Is there a glitch in the later versions of Thunderbird which is causing this? It was apparent today with my 'deleted' folder. I can't send you an image because I have now sorted the issue, until it happens again. I only discovered this by mikssing a couple of important emails and finding them in webmail but not in Thunrderbird. I use IMAP and my settings to the server are correct.
