The Received column sorts the same as the Date column

In any folder view the "Received" column is supposed to sort in the order the messages were received. Instead it shows and sorts the same as the Date column.

Is there a user control for this, or is it a bug report?

OMG, this has been a bug with IMAP support for ten years now... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402594

Comment 17 resolves it. But yes, you to have to repair (rebuild the index file) for each folder where you want to see the correct Received date/time.

How has this bug existed, and the fix known, for ten years without it having been fixed in the code? Unbelievable.
