This was disabled in faa666394c
because it isn't possible to extract the name of the android
contact in the 'ORDER BY...' clause when querying the database.
Instead it simply sorts by the email address.
This may cause the same contact to appear multiple times in
the list, if they have multiple email addresses assigned.
But in most cases this is good enough and surely better than
not having the option to sort by sender at all.
Desktop mail clients such as Thunderbird also simply use the
sender email information when sorting the column.
This also adds a SenderComparator for usage in the MergeCursor.
Some people prefer them over swiping / volume keys.
They could probably be made optional so they can be hidden.
Also: delete the now unused message_view_fragment.xml and message_view_option.xml.
Eliminate the old-style search dialog box. A similar change
was previously made when searching from the folder list. This
change is applicable when searching while choosing a
folder (e.g. a destination folder for a copy operation).
Both items are commonly used even by the average user (and likely both
are used more commonly than 'clear local messages'), so it makes
sense to provide them in the context menu as well as the action bar.
Recent phones frequently do not have a hardware search key, so
there is no way to initiate a search without a menu option.
Related to issues 3386, 3428, 4523, and 4643.
Disabled "sort by sender" for now because the database can't sort by
contact names from the contacts database. We probably have to
special-case that and do in-memory sorting.
