Except you didn't.

The line above is redundant with the Subject field.

Now:

It's not entirely clear to me what you mean. Are you talking about the 
"Personal" area? This is actually not sorted at all, though due to the way 
packets are created, it normally _appears_ to be sorted in just the way you 
describe (actually by message number rather than date, but these are usually 
close to the same order).

Otherwise, general messages are separated by conference, and each conference 
can be sorted by subject, from, to, or number. There's no sorting by date per 
se, but again, by-number is close.
