Shouldn't we sort by the default field user is seeing messages sorted? Might be internal date, might be date of arrival.

I have found that internal_date and date are the same. The goal here were to make sure by default newers messages are on top. I am still working on this PR to make sure that sort follows users choices / preferences (Ascending or Descending).

There are certainly 2 different dates that user can choose for default sort order in imap module - Date of the msg (date sent) and date of arrival (which is probably the internal date). I think we should be in sync here with the setting.

@mmarcwabo Please take this over the finish line :-)

Just adding my 2¢, Cypht might have an opportunity to do truly smart searches... by doing a "relevance" search and sorting with the most relevant results at the top.

I haven't yet used Cypht in the real world, so this is just a thought off the top of my head.

Closing this in favor of https://github.com/cypht-org/cypht/pull/1120 - turns out we needed both front and backend fixes to make sorting work in imap folders.
