(This came up recently in the mh-e-users mailing list on SourceForge.
I'm opening this bug to track the request.)

When MH-E displays a folder in threaded mode, the threads appears to be
sorted according to the oldest message in the thread.  I write "appears
to be" because the code is a little hard to follow.  I think it's using
each message's MH message number in the folder as a proxy for the
message's age.

The request is to provide a way to toggle between that and a sort order
where the thread's position relative to other threads is determined by
the newest message in the thread, rather than the oldest.

Example:

current sorting:

1 01/01 [Alice] subject1
3 01/02   [Bob] re: subject1
5 01/05     [Alice] re: subject1
2 01/02 [Alice] subject2
4 01/03   [Bob] re: subject2

alternate sorting:

2 01/02 [Alice] subject2
4 01/03   [Bob] re: subject2
1 01/01 [Alice] subject1
3 01/02   [Bob] re: subject1
5 01/05     [Alice] re: subject1
