Some perceived this as a bug. Others never noticed. The moment it got
"fixed", I started complaining as nothing worked as *I* expected it to
work. The "fix" broke *my* workflow in a way that would make me leave
CM if that was the only way it would work.

As that patch broke my workflow, it was the easiest action to take:
just revert what was causing my grief, regardless of what it might fix
(that never bothered me obviously).

Consistency is within the eye of the user. I think that the majority of
the CM developers think the only sane way of sorting threaded view is
having the newest last. Fine with me, but that is not how I work. I
want the newest on top. Period. You may call that weird or stupid or
whatever, but I have worked like that since many many years and am not
planning to change. I am under the impression that I am not the only
one.

/me agrees 100%
even if some say it was flawed. Prove it!

Or revert the fix to some bug that we do not see as such. It *is* open
source and git is your/my friend.
