Subject: Possible Pine Sorting Bug
Hi,

I am using Pine 4.61 running on SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 using Wyse 60 terminals.
Most of the users of this system are non-technical, so most configuration
options are set in pine.conf.fixed so that they can't be changed. Here are
what I think are the relevant options:

pine.conf.fixed:

    feature-list= disable-config-cmd,

        use-function-keys,

pine.conf:

    sort-key=arrival/reverse

A user wished to sort email by arrival only: as if 'sort-key=arrival' were
selected.

To do this, I advised her to (from within MESSAGE INDEX) select F7
SortIndex. The system responds:

Choose type of sort, or 'R' to reverse current sort :

F1 Help F3 Subject F5 From F7 Cc F9 siZe F11 scorE

F2 Cancel F4 [Arrival] F6 To F8 Date F10 OrderedSubj F12 tHread

The problem is that R doesn't work! Pine's sort-key is selectable (one can
choose Subject, Arrival, etc.); it appears that 'reverse' is permanently
set. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,

--Phil Hair
