Well, you asked a difficult question, so I'll break it into two parts:

Part 1: Is there an *easy* way to sort by "from address unless it's 
         mine, in which case use the to address"?

No, unfortunately, there's not.

Part 2: Is there ANY way to sort that way?

I think there is, but it'd require a *LOT* of work. One of the sort 
methods is "score" where you sort your messages by a score that you 
have control over. I *think* it would be possible to design a 
sufficiently clever set of scoring rules that would allow you to 
create the sort order that you like. But like I said, that would 
require a TON of work.

It would be much easier to ask the developers to make a from-or-to 
sort order (to match the %F field of the index_format). This could be 
painful for the IMAP driver, though, since the sorting cannot be done 
on the server side.
