Change sort to ascending globally?

Mail's default sort is "Date Received," ascending. I have over 100 mailboxes and I'd like the default sort to be "Date Received" descending. I prefer the latest email on top. Doesn't everyone?

Rather than click the header bar in every mailbox I'm trying to find where I can change the key.

I've been searching the files in User > Library > Mail for the strings "ascending" and "descending" returning zippo.

Anyone know which key in which plist this option is stored?

Pro 2.53, Mac OS X (10.6.1), Pro 17"; Air; G5; eMac; Yosemite; iMacs: slot, orig; Performa; Macintosh; III, 2e, 2c

Okay, so it turns out that it is related to logitech control center v3.1. When I removed LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader.osax from my /library/scripting additions folder, the problem disappeared.

Just to clarify cbparker's post:

The sort order problem is caused by Logitech's "LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader" scripting addition, located in /Library/ScriptingAdditions/. Removing it and then quitting and restarting Mail will fix the problem.

The reason that this bug appears more often when you run Default Folder X is that DFX loads its own scripting addition into Mail, and that causes LCC Scroll Enhancer to be loaded as well (there's currently no way to load only one scripting addition). Without DFX, the LCC Scroll Enhancer is only loaded if you run an AppleScript, so the problem happens less frequently.

What will this do to the Logitech piece if I remove this file?

Thank you for posting this. I was having this same issue (and don't use Default Folder X). Deleting the LCC file resolved the issue for me.

Also, I can confirm that this issue was introduced on the LCC Control Center version 3.1. It does not occur on version 3.0.
