I want to try a new sort order for my mailling list folders.  I am
currently using 'sort=threads, sort-aux=date-received'.  I've tried
adding 'reverse-' to the beginning of each of those, but it isn't the
effect I want.

What I would like to try is
    1)  first group the messages according to the thread they are in
    2)  for each thread, sort the thread itself with date-received
    3)  order the threads (relative to other threads) in
            reverse-date-received order

Basically I want the same thing I have now, but to reverse the order
of the threads, treating each thread as an autonomous unit.  The
reverse-threads method and the reverse-date-received methods do this,
but _also_ invert the contents of each thread.

In other words, each thread will be "normal" (per my current setup),
but with the newest thread on top, and so on.

Is it possible to achieve what I want with the current code?  If not,
is this a sensible feature to add to the wishlist?

TIA,

        haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that shed innocent blood,
        a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,
        a false witness who pours out lies
        and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
