I assume you mean the first message of the threads are sorted by date?
Since different messages in the threads arrive at different times, I
don't see how you could sort by date and thread also.
If the sorting/threading were "stable", then you could sort by date,
then select threads and have what you want. I just tested it on nightly
2001091508, and it looks like the sort isn't stable.
"Stable" means that sort items whose sort keys are identical maintain
their relative ordering. For threading, I guess this would mean that
after threads are constructed, the order of the starts of all the
threads is the same as before the threading.
