Mail table: sorted mails showing at the top

If I go into the mail table, for example the inbox, and click on the icon "attachments", "reply status" or eny other, the mails I would like to see at the top are then sorted to the bottom of the mail table.
This is the opposite I expected and wanted. So I have to click again and wait again, until the mail table is sortetd.

With the first click I would like to see the sorted mails at the top of the mail table.
