The notion of "Seconds Since Previous Displayed Packet" is based on the order of the frames in the capture file and differs from "Seconds Since Previous Captured Packet" only when packets are filtered. This value is not affected by sort order.

In your original example if you apply a display filter of ip.src == 192.168.1.101 you should see the expected value of 1.002009 between frames 30 and 46 regardless of what column you sort the filtered packets on.

Without filtering, to see the elapsed time between two arbitrary packets you can switch the time format to "Seconds Since First Captured Packet" and then use the Edit -> Set/Unset Time Reference menu option to set *REF* on frame 30 to read the desired elapsed time to frame 46.
