I could not find a way to sort the columns in the History view.

An inherent part of the history view is that it's a graph which is not very compatible with sorting. 

What do you really want is, my guess, better filtering since that is often what sorting is used for.

Yes. I was trying to find several commits with the same message. Find helps a bit, but only after one notices, that it does not search the message text by default - only the author.

That we should fix.
