Before anyone does changes like this: I am not sure it's really a good
idea. How could Tracker know that the reverse sorting order also means
that the Next/Previous logic should be reversed? That might be
convenient for Mail, but it would be pretty confusing for any other
piece of software, like ShowImage.
Therefore, I would just extend the scripting feature, and use that
extra information within Mail to decide what to do (ie. if a reversed
"MAIL:when" or "Modified time" is part of the sort order, reverse the
logic of next/previous).
