So after trying to use the Gmail web interface for a few weeks, I spooled up Mail.app. I like Mail.app. It can sometimes seem like it's syncing with gmail forever, but in general I like the app a lot. When I started it though, I noticed that my emails were all in Date Received Descending order.

Now, I'm really not sure who likes to read mail in Date Received Descending order. It's kinda like reading a book from back to front for me. So dutifully, I clicked the column to sort it ascending. Went to my next folder and found it was descending order also. Clicked - Sorted, next folder..hmmm, okay, I started noticing a pattern. What was even more odd was that when I went back to the first folder, it was once again descending order. I thought I'd fix it by sorting by another column and then back to date. Nope, everytime you leave and come back, it's back to descending order.

In the end, interestingly and unsurprisingly at the same time, it was LCC...or Logitech Control Center. Once that was uninstalled, my mail folders remain sorted the correct way. Anyway, who needs my Logitech mouse now that I have the Magic Mouse :)
