No, it's not necessary, and would be better to not display it, but it will be a little bit inconsistent. User is able to change sorting by clicking on column header. It's not possible with not-existent column

We should implement 3-state sorting switch then, asc, desc, no-sorting,
and
"no-sorting" means "by internaldate".
My message threading patch (http://www.atomice.com/blog/?page_id=34) implements this. It adds a dummy search column called 'default'. Clicking on the Date column toggles between ascending, descending and 'default'.
Like Aleksander, I found Dovecot's sorting could take several seconds with a very large mailbox (~30,000 messages).
