Conversations sortable on arbitrary fields
Many times, I have a conversation with many messages. I may want to sort the array of conversation fields on any field. Currently, if I click on any field name, the conversation collapses.

Hi Len,
You seem to be referring to threading. "Threaded" is a sort order. It's not possible to sort by "threaded" and sort on a field at the same time. When you sort threaded conversations on a field, it's the conversations that get sorted, not the messages within the conversations.
I don't know why the conversation collapses. That doesn't happen on my installation.
In case anything is new for you here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/message-threading-thunderbird
You must be using cards view instead of of table view. The conversation does collapse in cards view when one tries to sort on a field.
The hierarchical sort order of a threaded conversation is more apparent in table view.
The "conversations" view may do more of what you want. You may have to customize the top toolbar to put a button for conversations there.
I believe that the implementation of conversations is incomplete and buggy. Developers are working on a new version.
