Not really. I'm sure you'll have your webmail code fixed before you
could have changed Dovecot to return results in different order..

Or you could of course have your webmail code issue commands a bit
differently. Rather than:

a FETCH 3,2,1 ..

Issue:

a FETCH 3 ..
b FETCH 2 ..
c FETCH 1 ..

The latter is less efficient of course.
