It would be nice to sort the messages by things other than the message date.

How  'bout making it so you can click on the column heading to sort by that field, like many other applications work?

Messages are sorted on post, not on display :). I guess I could implement that but it'd probably be quite slow...

I don't think most users would mind the speed (or lack thereof). Personally, I'd prefer having the feature even if it is a bit slow.

You  could probably get around the speed problem by still performing the sort on POST, but adding a "sortby" parameter to those routines. When the user clicks on the heading, you could re-submit the form using the new "sortby" parameter, depending on which column they selected.
