Secondary sort for emails changed

Hi there. I've always used the two click method to sort primary and secondary columns (Not sure what the term would be) So I click on Date column header, first, until it is sorted with newest email at the top. This usually takes 2 clicks as it seems that the default sort for that column is oldest on top. Then I click on the Read status header, also 2 clicks as it seems that read on top is the default.

How it used to work is, after this, the newest unread emails is on top of the list. But today I noticed that now the oldest unread is on top when doing the same tests. This is after the latest update for Thunderbird for Linux Mint that I ran. (It might have chanced earlier but I've only noticed it today)

Thunderbird version: 115.16.0esr (64-bit) Linux Mint version: 21.3
