I don't know about that, but you can save a custom view (including sort
order) by setting the folder how you want and then doing View -> Current
View -> Save view.   Then it's reasonably trivial to set the correct
view of a folder when you first visit it (and that will remain until
it's changed).

Certainly I think the "Received" date is the better one to sort by,
although YMMV. But I thought the default was no sorting - i.e. the
messages are displayed in the order they are stored.  In general that's
the received order, but not when you start moving messages around.  But
I may be wrong about that - it's a long time since I used a vanilla
install!
