Fix out-of-order messages by sorting as we display

Sometimes I observe out-of-order messages when using a maildir inbox. It
appears that the UIDs for these messages are returned out of order by
the MessageStore. In order for a maildir MessageStore to return messages
in most recently received order, it must have already opened all
messages and parsed the date to use as a sort key. Rather than implement
that, simply sort messages by time as we display. This fix shows my
emails in order.
