The above would match the calendar body parts only. The messages they 
belong to are not matched.

The “All Body Parts” mailbox might look like it's sorted, because a 
large part of it is the root message body parts which do have dates. 
Note that the non-root body parts are not sorted. You can consider that 
a bug or a missing feature :-)

I think you should base your smart mailbox on “All Messages” and 
then for each of your “subtype” comparisons you should enable the 
“All Body Parts” option for the “is” comparison method (look in 
the bottom of the comparison method popup). Some search items such as 
“Unquoted Body Text” have this enabled by default, but this is not 
the case for “Content-Type” comparisons.
