Its time for you to use the very fine documentation provided with the
mutt distribution. ie:
3.283. sort
Type: sort order
Default: date
Specifies how to sort messages in the index menu. Valid values are:
date or date-sent
date-received
from
mailbox-order (unsorted)
score
size
spam
subject
threads
to
You may optionally use the reverse- prefix to specify reverse
sorting order (example: set sort=reverse-date-sent).
3.285. 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).
