I'm curious, why not this:
set sort column of message viewer 1 to date sent column
Good question ... and I seem to vaguely remember a good answer. (Pause
here while I do a little Spotlighting.)
Ah Ha! Found it!

You don't need the word "index" before "viewerIndex". Try the
following instead:
tell application "Mail"
set viewerIndex to (count message viewers)
set selected mailboxes of (message viewer viewerIndex) to {mailbox
"_Action ! ! ! ! ! !"}
end tell
It worked for me on 10.5.1 Leopard.
To which I replied ...
I just tried that about two minutes ago. No, it did not work. But,
I'm using 10.4.11. It's nice that it works in 10.5.1, but I need to
solve this problem for Tiger.
This morning, I continued trying variations on this theme. I finally
tried this ...
tell application "Mail"
set frontViewer to (some message viewer whose index is 1)
set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {mailbox
"_Action ! ! ! ! ! !"}
which does work correctly in Tiger. Using "whose" seems to be the
key to this work-around. None of the other variations that have been
recommended to me worked. This must be a bug in Tiger's Mail that
has been fixed in Leopard's Mail.
So, the answer is "I am now using Leopard, but I want my script to
continue to work in Tiger."
