Setting sort_aux=last-date-received yields:

   1 r   Apr 21 Vincent Lefevre (0.1K) Message A
   2 r   Apr 21 Vincent Lefevre (0.1K) ├─>Reply 2 to Message A
   3 r   Apr 21 Vincent Lefevre (0.1K) └─>Reply 1 to Message A
   4     Apr 21 Vincent Lefevre (0.2K)   └─>Reply to replies 1 and 2

However, in my opinion, sort=threads should already show this order
independently of sort_aux. A message should always appear after each
message it is referring to. This is what is called topological sort in
a DAG (directed acyclic graph), which is what we get (instead of a tree
structure) if there are joined threads.
