Then Thunderbird doesn't use SORT for sorting. Roundcube trusts in server responses. To re-sort messages we would need to fetch Date/INTERNAL date value for all messages in a folder which wouldn't be good for performance. This is exactly what we do when SORT is not supported by the server.
OK, but in this case there should be a config option not to use SORT even if server reports CAPABILITY SORT.
IMO, if the server reports a SORT capability, it should be trusted and the SORT response should be used as it is provided by the server to Roundcube.
If the server doesn't know how what a SORT response is supposed to look like, or does it wrong somehow, it's the server that should be fixed, really.
Also, your server should allow you to suppress the SORT capability from it's CAPABILITY response, effectively causing a client (like Roundcube) not to use sort.
