Research direction

Reproduce the issue from the message list using the sort button and overflow menu, then inspect the implementation changed in PR #11190. Trace how the selected sort indicator is assembled after the overflow menu is opened repeatedly. Done means the selected sort type shows exactly one ⦁ indicator after repeated taps, with regression coverage if the existing area has tests.
