Can you please clarify what you mean by "correct"?  A screenshot would be helpful.

Thanks for a bug report. Am I right that the 2.28.3 is not using Group By Thread, but 2.30.3 is using Group By Thread? And when you turn that option off, will it sort by Subject correctly in 2.30.3, and when you turn that on in 2.28.3, will it also break sorting?
Comment 5 Warren Sturm 2010-10-06 14:02:14 UTC 
Neither is using group by thread.  Trying it made no difference in sort order in the example folder in the screen shot.
Comment 6 Milan Crha 2010-10-07 08:02:56 UTC 
Ah, thanks, I realized I can reproduce it too. I filled an upstream bug [1] for the issue, which also contains a patch to fix it. There was no code change, thus you can apply that patch (or that simple change) to your evolution too, concretely on the file:
  /usr/share/evolution/2.30/etspec/message-list.etspec

and it'll start to work as soon as you restart evolution.
