That is odd, as it worked correctly for me, and the code (I'm using
mutt-1.4) shows that it looks up aliases when sorting if reverse_alias is
set. How are you formatting the alias in your muttrc (or whichever file
contains your aliases)? Which version of mutt? Do you have a folder hook
that is unsetting reverse_alias?
