Apple Mail Sort by From ?

Not sure if it is me or this is just the way Apple Mail works.

Logic would assume that if you select a message in Apple Mail and that message is highlighted, not opened, and you click the From column so you can sort by that column Apple Mail would make sure that, when it is sorted, the highlighted message would still be in your view. I can get this to work sometimes and other times it does not, so it is starting to bother me.

Is there something that I am missing...some step...or is this just the way it works, sometimes?

Thanks.

That's how it works for me.

That is how I would expect it to work too. Yesterday it did work like that, this morning it's back to not keeping highlighted mail in view when clicking From column.

I discovered a restart of Mail corrects the issue.

No one else see this? I usually leave computer running and don't really shut down unless I am taking it with me.
