Description of Problem:
List view in Nautilus does not correctly preserve
selected items when the list is re-sorted by a
different column.  Reverse-sort works fine (by
clicking the same column again), but when a new
column is clicked, the wrong items are selected.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to a folder with several items in and select
the List View.
2. Select an item or multiple items in the list.
3. Click a column heading to sort the list by that
column.  Continue clickingn other columns to get
different selections in the list.

Actual Results:
The wrong items are selected when a new sort
column is selected

Expected Results:
The same items should be selected after a new sort
as were selected before the sort

How often does this happen? 
Most of the time for me, YRMV

Additional Information:
The selection of items appears to be confined to
their file type (either a file or directory).  If
you have 10 directories and 50 files but select
only one directory and 3 files out of that,
regardless how you sort, you'll always be left
with one directory and three files selected (but
they're not necessarily the ones you initially
selected).
