Problem you are trying to solve
When I set sort preference for one folder, the same is used for all other folders. I might want to have different sort preferences for different folders.
Suggested solution
Have a way to set sorting preference for individual folders, similar to how it is in Thunderbird.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by locating where the current global sort preference is stored and applied to folders. Compare the requested behavior with Thunderbird's per-folder sorting, then verify that changing one folder's sort does not change the preference for other folders.
