imap_sort($inbox, 1, 1);
OR
imap_sort($inbox, "SORTARRIVAL", 1);


seems to sort by message date instead of arrival date, which incorrectly sorts inboxes with invalid dates (i.e. the unix epoch).

I assume you're c-client library is version 4.7 ??

There are known problems (reported by the c-client author!)
with dates in that version. The author suggested using
the newer version of the library:

ftp://cac.washington.edu/imap/imap-2000.RELEASE-CANDIDATE.4.tar.gz

There are numerous bugs fixed in that version.

Please try it and report if problem is solved.
I'm not able to try it out myself for now but 
will later on.

Same problems happens with imap-2000.RELEASE-CANDIDATE.4.tar.gz.
The dates are still set incorrectly (sometime in 1969) and therefore sort to the top of the inbox, rather than where it actually arrived.  As far as i can see, sorting by 1 works the same as sorting by 0 (without looking at php or imap C source).

You are correct in saying this, is there bug tracking for c-client?

So this is not PHP bug but c-client library bug.
