It should follow the order displayed. The date is only taken into 
consideration when sorting.

I'm not sure. I can see something like this happen, e.g., if the emails 
are threaded and you delete an expanded parent message (which breaks the 
thread in two parts), but I think this is mainly a problem if moving 
from newest to oldest. In any case, when it happens try using undo to 
see if it's reproducible and if you can perhaps see why it happens. 
Maybe something can be tweaked or made optional.
