Sorting "anomaly"?

Download some headers. Do not select any headers with mouse. Sort the headers by date with oldest at the top of list and newest at bottom. Use the scroll bar and drag to the bottom of list. Select the newest file (last one if sorted by date). Now sort by date (click the Date column header)....the file gets deselected. Seemingly not a big deal right?

Again, sort by date with newest at bottom, select the last file. Now download older headers. The latest downloads go BELOW the newest file, right...when finished, sort by date with column headers. For some reason, only that last file gets deselected during the sorting process. If you select the second newest file, it retains the selection throughout the sort.

Is this behavior correct, even though inconsistent? It does the same thing if you select the oldest file (top of list) and go thru the sorting motions. Essentially, it's not consistent behavior, and while maybe not a big deal, it is annoying. If I select the newest header, it should remain selected throughout the sort so that when finished downloading older headers, the focus stays at the bottom of the list, without any additional manual scrolling or scroll bar interaction.

Thanks!

If something selected gets sorted to position zero, the selection isn't restored.

It's getting selected now though, thanks.
