Not sure how I feel about the usefulness of the patch if it requires 
correct sorting, and most mail clients turn out to _not_ sort 
correctly. Of course I have no idea what most mail clients do, but 
KMail seems to get it about right, AFAICS (mail filename starts with 
timestamp, so they're at least sorted roughly on (arrival) date).

I discussed this with a pine user in #git and we concluded (looking at 
the respective code) that both Mutt and Pine generate correct filenames 
based on when that mail arrived to the Maildir.

FWIW this pine user was me. Yes, I finally bit the bullet and run pine 
with the maildir patches.

I cannot think of another sane way for any MUA to sort Maildirs.
