That doesn't achieve the effect I want. Here is an example :
~~~~~~~ with sort_aux=reverse-date-received

Notice how, at the same thread level, the older message is at the bottom.
(in particular, compare messages 92, 96, and 97.
What I want is for that thread to look like this, but still have
indices 91-97 (that is, be near the top of the folder) :

Notice how the thread itself is in 'date-received' order.
However, I want the threads (eg if I collapse-all and then only count
the visible messages) to be reverse-date-received.
Does this make sense now? Do you see how what I want is different
from 'sort=threads sort_aux=reverse-date-received'?
