Ah, oops, I've just discovered the sort_browser setting which
addresses this issue to some extent. However some explanation of the
settings might be useful:-
count - does this mean the count of messages in the directory,
what about if it contains further subdirectories?
date - date of what? If it's just the date of the directory it's
not terribly useful!
size - does it work or mean anything with maildir?
unread - what does this mean?
