I have set sort=threads sort_aux=score in my .muttrc. I get threads sorted like this within the index: ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1 O Jun 23 Ingo Molnar ( 0) [fixpatch] pagecache-2.3.8-B4 2 O Jun 23 Ingo Molnar ( 0) --> 3 O Jun 23 Jakob Sandgren ( 0) Re: Disk On Chip driver ? 4 O Jun 23 Alan Cox ( 10) --> ----------------------------------------------------------------- E.g. I score anything from Alan Cox +10. But even so, his thread is sorted after the [fixpatch] thread. It appears that the threads are being sorted by the score of their root article, not all the articles in the thread. Is this a bug, or is it supposed to work this way?
