I think I got it. You want all threads to be reverse-date
sorted. And per thread and threading-level you want the
messages sorted by date received. Is that correct now?

So, you'll have to sort by threads and find something to use
for $sort_aux which fits your needs. You want a thread
internally sorted by 'date-received' and externally by
'reverse-date-received'. That doesn't seem to be possible
since $sort_aux is used for both.
