# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The Sort method is deprecated:

# msgSetObj is a MessageSet
$msgSetObj = $imap->Sort($sortCriteria,"utf-8",$searchCriteria,$bUid);
if ($imap->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;

# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using QueryMbx.
# Your application creates a new, empty MessageSet object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

# The following properties are used instead of function arguments.
$imap->put_SortCriteria("DATE SUBJECT");
