i'm using mutt with:

set sort                = threads
set sort_aux            = last-date-received

man muttrc:

sort_aux
 Type: sort order
 Default: date

When sorting by threads, this variable controls how threads are sorted in
relation to other threads, and how the  branches  of  the  thread trees  are
sorted.   This  can be set to any value that “$sort” can, except threads (in
that case, mutt will just use date-sent).  You can also specify the last-
prefix in addition to the reverse- prefix, but last- must come after reverse-.
The last- prefix causes messages  to be  sorted  against  its  siblings  by
which  has  the  last  descendant,  using  the  rest of sort_aux as an
ordering.  For instance, set sort_aux=last-date-received would mean that if a
new message is received in a thread, that thread becomes the last one displayed
(or  the first, if you have set sort=reverse-threads.) Note: For reversed
“$sort” order $sort_aux is reversed again (which is not the right thing to do,
but kept to not break any existing configuration setting).


can i use squirrelmail sorting similar to last-date-received ???
