When my email downloads it has always downloaded by date, i.e., all emails download together at the end of my list of emails. Two days ago my new emails just began to download randomly in my inbox. They're just scattered among all my collected emails in a very random fashion. I'm afraid this is going to cause me to not see some of my emails. I've scrolled through all of the tools/help options and can't figure out how to change back to the way I used to receive emails.

In the message list pane, the top line is a menu bar with Subject, From, Date, etc. Click Date to set the sequence to ascending or descending.
