The trouble is that although it is allowed now it doesn't always work as expected. Unfortunately I have no time (and even probably not enough knowledge of this part of the code) to fix this and so all I did was to provide a quick way to turn threading off if it doesn't work as you want it to.

This works well for ascending sort but not for descending. Or vice versa. Whatever -- it only works for one direction.

It is possible to do it but I think it's a very bad idea. Either the list is sorted or it is not, a list which is sometimes sorted but not always is somethign very strange. In any case, I almost surely am not going to change anything in this area any time soon...
