Sort filter fails in Betterbird

[RealRaven2000]

Sorting filters doesn't work in the latest version of Betterbird.

Error log:

This may be due to a missing (or differently named) variable [gTotalSearchTerms]. In the Thunderbird codebase this is defined here:

https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/5fb08affe686ce86e49678f02d82fcce06370525/mailnews/search/content/searchTerm.js#7

It seems there is a bigger issue: Clicking Sort deletes the items in the filter search list. This occurs in the previous Betterbird release and current release (just posted): 102.7.0-bb28 (64-bit)

This seems to be related, from the current Tb (not Betterbird) and quickFilters :

gFilters-filterEditor.js:140 :

if (gFilter.searchTerms[i].attrib == -2) {

What's weird is that it's complaining about gFilter not being defined rather than the searchTerms within.

Should I move this to a new ticket?

yes, please log the bug and whether the sorting is broken in Thunderbird. I am simply not sure at this stage whether the bug still exists in Betterbird. need to test when I am back home.
