OK, I'll use the term sorting then since that is what I'm looking for.

Great to hear you are still progressing on this work.  I really look forward
to having this in place.

BTW:  I'm sure this is over simplistic, but is there a reason that we can't
just use triggers?  I know postgres supports them, and the also have built
in regex, it would seem very easy to just add a trigger that says, when a
message inserted into the messages table, update the folder to X if header Y
is equal to Z.  What am I missing here?
