[imp] IMP, empty INBOX when 'sortby' is enabled

Hello!

This happens in IMP:

INBOX appears as 'empty' even if *there are* messages in the INBOX. At 
last I have found how to reproduce the problem, because it only happens 
when the user has a stored preference of 'sort_by'.

 > select * from horde_prefs;
pref_uid        | pref_scope | pref_name | pref_value
----------------------------------------------
user at domain.tld | imp        | sortby    | 2

I have reported this issue in the past and I got answers about php-imap 
library problems... but I have researched a lot about this possible 
problem, and I found no solution or problem at all.

Now, seems to me that the problem must be within IMP itself (or does the 
php-imap library handles the sorting of the messages?).

If I delete that stored preference, the INBOX appears as expected.
