Usually clients sort either by message UID (practically non-sorted),
received date or message's Date-header. Dovecot can't help with the UID
sorting because UIDs must always grow. I couldn't cause received date to
break either. You're using namespaces I suppose? You could try this
also:

x select mbox
x fetch 1 internaldate
x copy 1 maildirbox
x select maildirbox
x fetch * internaldate

If the internaldates match, then copying worked correctly.
