This was talked about on mutt-dev in the last day or two. The advise
then was:

set sort=threads
set sort_aux=last-date

I dug the following out and is using this myself on 1.5.18

# sort by threads
set sort=threads
# sort threads on newest received message in thread
set sort_aux=reverse-last-date-received

This makes it behave quite similar to GMail. You can of course make
these a folder-hook if you like.

HTH,
