Correct. This is the problem that the ctime solution is meant to address.

Heliotrope will return it as the first result, since it returns messages
in LIFO order.

Currently Turnsole currently re-sorts all messages returned by sort by
date, and so it will place it at the bottom. This is also where the
pagination issues may come from. Maybe it would be less confusing for it
to stick to search result order.

You have to reorder whenever you want Heliotrope to return messages in
Date header order instead of in LIFO order. I think this will typically
happen when you import a couple batches of preexisting mail, and not
when you're adding new mail.
