Not sure if I'm seeing the same bug, or a different one, for me it has started happening a month or two ago, affecting news but not mail.
I normally view sorted by order received, threaded, ascending I quite frequently switch between all and unread messages Using the menu/view/sort-by/order received, I see the "selected" indicator dot against "order received" and I see the "^" sort indicator in the order received column header of the message list pane. If I then swap between unread and all messages using the dropdown in the toolbar, I see the "^" indicator moves to the date column header, at this point the menu/view/sort-by still shows the selected indicator dot next to the order received entry But if I then navigate to a different group, and then switch back to the original group, there is no longer *any* indicator in the menu under view/sort-by and the sorting is messed up. I can always reselect order received and it will sort properly until I alter the all/unread toggle and navigate between different groups, then the sort is broken again.

The correct way to do this would be to have the entire thread move up to the top, based on the received status of the children in the thread view.
