Is there a way to achieve a stable sort when you sort on a column in a message folder?

E.g., when I sort on Sender, my usual problem is that I want them to remain in Received order and they don't.

You want to sort by sender, and are disappointed that the sort by date is changed to sender do that. You are doing the equivalent of changing the sort order of the days of the week to alphabetical then saying Monday no longer follows Sunday. Or are you expecting some sort of secondary sort order other than the primary.

@Matt You apparently did not read the Wikipedia article I cited. For all the messages that have the SAME sender, I want them to remain in received-date order. That's what "stable sort" means.

No it is not possible... I do not need to read a Wikipedia article on sorting algorithms to know that. The sort is stable, just obviously not offering in a form you want. You get to sort on one criteria, not two.
