On mine, it seems to only sort by first initial if they are lined up and also same prefix, e.g. Re, Fw. etc.
I think it would be great if you had:
From: Name: Subject: Date
All of the names should be last name, first name and lined up so the program could sort by name. It seems that maybe they have to be lined up. Don't know. But, would still be better.
Maybe we don't even need a Re or Fw, etc. It rarely makes a difference to me as far as whether it is Re vs Fw. It could be like email and if it is sent and hasn't been looked at would either be a certain color or the From field could look new just like in an email.
Charts and reminders have DOBs, while messages do not. Make it consistent.
