Yes.
Probably the same thing should be done for size.

Yes, that's just the point.
Sorting be size to do cleaning up may be also a point.

I don't recall, if there was a real decision.
What *was* said is:
This will lead to the effect, that a newly incoming mail, resorts an old
mail, posibly the one just in the viewer. This may be unwanted. So it
probably needs to be a configurable option.

There was also a suggestion to simply switch threading (temporarily)
off, when sorting by date or size. IHMO this also sounds like a reasonable idea.
(In fact I just switch threading off, when I sort by date or size and _really_ want 
the correct result.
The "difficult" part is to remember switching threading on again, after I've finished)

And yes, I would still like to see such a feature (one way or the other)
