 Package: mutt
 Version: 1.5.18
 Severity: normal

 -- Please type your report below this line

 This has been bothering me for a while, and I think I have finally
 characterised the behaviour.

 Enter a mail folder in threaded view using:

   set sort=reverse-threads
   set sort_aux=last-date

 I use maildirs, but I believe the behaviour is related to the sorting,
 not the mail folder format.

 Find a thread whose message dates span the date of some other
 messages outside the thread. Choose one of those outside messages.
 Delete the later messages from the thread until it no longer spans
 the chosen outside message. Position the cursor on one of the
 remaining messages in the thread. Type '$' (well, do a sync).

 The mailbox gets reordered. The cursor seems to remain at the same
 linear position in the index (thus on a different message). This
 is not desirable behaviour. It should remain on the same message
 it was on before the sync.

 This does leave open the behaviour when the cursor points at a
 deleted message. Personally I would choose to have the cursor move
 to the "next undeleted" message before the sync.
