I have set suborder in my ~/.preferences file as follows:

	suborder:mail:pcs*:SUN*:*andrew*:*

and yet when AMS displays my list of subscribed folders it always
displays them in the order:

SUN.managers
mail
info-andrew
sun-spots
andrew.ams
pcs.misc
pcs.test

Shouldn't the suborder specification cause the order to be

mail
pcs.misc
pcs.test
SUN.managers
info-andrew
andrew.ams
sun-spots

What gives?
