Mail 16.0 keeps changing sort order of emails

Every time I open Mail 16.0 the sort order of messages changes on its own. I have it set to sort by date with newest on top, but on opening it they are sorted differently. I'm running Ventura 13.2.1 on a MacBook Air M1, 2020. Any help would be appreciated.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.12

Mac mail not sorting into mailboxes For a while now, Apple Mail ins not sorting emails properly. This is NOT related to "Rules". This is NOT related to "organise by conversation" etc which is all turned off. The default "view" setting is to sort by date (most recent on top). However - mail is putting emails out of order - and sent items are seen in the "inbox". I have a couple of email addresses - so use "favourites" (All -Inboxes, All Sent, etc) - the issue may be related to when I started using these, which has been only for maybe 6 months to a year (however I have tried taking a couple of addresses "offline" and the normal inbox still has the same problem). I'm using a MBP16 (2019) and running Ventura 13.2.1

Mac mail not sorting into mailboxes I use apple mail as an email client. I use a couple of email addresses - and use the "favourites" (All Inboxes", "AllSent" ect). All emails are "sorted" by date received... easy enough - but lately (since the recent ventura upgrade) emails are not sorted to date received when the application is "opened" again (it doesn't need to be a quit and re-start... just a close and open). Additionally, sent emails are included in the "all inbox" listing and vice versa....... This is nothing to do with "Rules" - these are working normally.

Mail on Osx 13.3 doesn't keep defualt mail order Hello, we have 3 macbook air M1 running on os x 13.3, recently upgraded from Monterey. We can't keep the default order for searches. Every time we start a new search the mail listed are order by dimension and not for data. After every search we set from the menu-->order by-->data and all folders. But after closing the mail app, the next search will order mail by dimension. We have another Macbook air M1 that comes directly with 13.3 installed and it has not this issue. Is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.3.1 I would start there.
