All the time! I would guess that every group I read is sorted in at
least 2 or 3 ways, first as threaded but also by name and date when I'm
looking for replies to my own posts or new articles. In a day's worth of
work it probably amounts to hundreds of extra clicks and mouse moves to
do it the Mozilla way.

It is limited but only if you want to sort threads other than by date. I
don't which is why it is extremely convenient rather than limited.

Seriously though I think a single flag in prefs could enable both ways
