I feel like I'm asking a really obvious question, or pointing out the biggest clanger of all time. Today I've upgraded an email account from IMAP to dedicated MS Exchange. No issue about apart from a slow merge of mailboxes, moving the "Sent" folder from the old IMAP to the Sent folder on the Exchange server.

Only issue is, now if I go to my iPhone/Ipad, instead of my sent box actually being in order of when I sent mail. It's organising by "received"
And sure enough when I checked on OSX it's the same, but thankfully there is the option to organise by date sent/recieved so not too much of an issue. How/why is iOS doing this, and how did something as basic as a sort/organise option get overlooked? Am I loosing my mind?

Anyone shed any light?
