I using openxp 5.0.51 on linux
I have mixed format on listing messages at date column,
Yeah, so have I.
it very weird and get confused for me
Considering how long I've been using OpenXP and its predecessor, even I tend to get confused occasionally. It's something I've learnt to live
with over the years but never done anything about it. For now, let's say it's just a quirk.

*I* can't do anything about it, so I've passed your message on to the developer. As soon as he replies back, I'll let you know what he has to say.
Here's his reply .....
---------- 8< ----------
The format DD.MM is used if the message was creatd in the last 12 months. Otherwise the format MM/YY is used.
The weird sorting in the list results of the fact that messages
aren't sorted by creation date, but by receive date.
So the message created on 2021-02-13 "Rodrigo Pelaez Fernando Toledo Re: Listado de BBS Lat!" was received before the message created in Jan.2021 "Flavio Bessa Fernando Toledo Daily Nodelist proceusú".
But anyway, i'll have a look at it to see what could be done.

I suspected that's what was happening all along. Personally, I
like the mixed use of DD.MM and MM/YY It clearly helps to
eyeball the messages that are clearly older than 12 months.

Well yes, there is that about it but it still tends to confuse me occasionally, must be my age 8-/

If there were a change in the DD.MM vs MM/YY, I would rather have the option to retain that presentation as a config setting instead of replacing it with something to "fix" it.

In retrospect, I thought that the use of DD.MM and MM/YY (for
older than 12 months) was very clever. It's really not unlike
what I see what some email programs try to do to help sort
messages in a larger visual way. Besides, we (OXP users) also
have the option to use the wonderful S)earch features to
identify messages within a date range.
If there were a change in the DD.MM vs MM/YY, I would rather
have the option to retain that presentation as a config setting
instead of replacing it with something to "fix" it.

I think that this kind of setting should be customized from the user.
