Well, I should not have used the 'time' word.

The alpine documentation states about 'Arrival' sorting:

" The Arrival sort option arranges messages in the MESSAGE INDEX in the 
order that they exist in the folder. This is usually the same as the 
order in which they arrived. This option is comparable to not sorting 
the messages at all. "

It is the same (non-)ordering available in Mozilla mail clients, with 
the 'Order Received' option.
