I've tried searching various archives with no success and I find

because Eudora keeps changing it to "none" from "Date."
If the last sort order you had set in Eudora was "Date", and the
date column header is no longer appearing "pressed", then you're
sort order should be "order of arrival", which is not exactly the
same as date. Eudora will account for the time zone of the sender,
so pressing "Date" can sometimes put messages in a slightly
different order, depending on where the sender was (for example,
from my perspective it can be the next day in Australia and still
today here, so locally sent messages would always sort before on e
from Australia, even it they arrived after the one from Oz).
I personally prefer to have the order based on arrival time. It's
not arbitrary, it's nearly the same order as Date, and it makes
sense to me. But if you have it set to date, it shouldn't revert
without some action on your part. There may well be a setting that
changes the sort order of the mailbox, but I don't find it among the
x-eudora-settings.
Right, I didn't either. SIgh. The trouble is in OS X that it has
some widows-like behavior where clicks can "tunnel" so if I click on
a background window, what I click over might just get activated.
Also, Eudora seems to arbitrarily revert the setting on occasions (in
OS X).
I think the setting predates the <x-eudora-setting> syntax.
