I sort like you do, and find the same annoyances.

I started trying 2.0.10 this week and discovered that there's a sort 
column to the far left, with "#" as the column title, and from what 
I've seen so far it looks like keeping the box sorted by that column 
will give the effect you desire.  I just this minuted found and deleted 
a bunch of misdated spam that would have appeared all over my inbox if 
sorted by date.
