Messages in Mail not in date order.

After transferring messages from the inbox to the sender's folder, they don't list in date order. In Mail prefs under Viewing, I have ticked "Show most recent messages at the top". Is there another control box?

Should have said that my iMac OS is High Sierra 10.13.3 and Mail is v 11.2.

You can sort any box on any column by clicking in the column heading (click again to reverse the sort) - and each box can have a different sort.

Thanks Mick. I had overlooked that click which I now find works in most of the boxes. However there is one sender who uses two different email addresses and his messages appear in the middle of the column. The click arrow in that case is at the top of the sender column. On all the others it's at the top of the date sent column. Not a great problem now that you have pointed me to the click arrow. Thanks again.
