Currently this is controlled by the sort order (--sort) option to
notmuch search. There is not currently a way to display the earliest
thread subject while sorting the threads in the default reverse
chronological order.  As far as I know, it would not be too hard to add
an option to do this on the command line.  You would probably have to
convince people that the increase in UI complexity is worth it. And of
course somebody needs to actually do the work.

This is a topic that comes up from time to time. I believe this would
require some changes to the way that threads are computed/stored in
notmuch; currently the thread structure can be entirely recovered from
the raw messages, and does not need to be backed up.  You could file a
separate wishlist bug or discuss this on the upstream mailing list if
you like.
