I use Seamonkey here.  Try doing it this way.  Tell it to sort by date
then hit sort by thread.  On mine, it seems to remember the previous
sort then puts it in order by thread.  Maybe Seamonkey is different but
it may be worth a try.

I to sort by threads.  Sorting by subject does not always work.  Sorting
by the headers has always worked for me and it appears to work for
others as well.

Point is, this and other lists have a way of doing things.  Either
adjust a bit or responses may be limited.  I had to set mine up to send
text only because a lot of people reject html.  I top post everywhere
else EXCEPT when I reply to a list.  It didn't take me to long to figure
out that either I was back to the forums or I had to do things they way
they are expected to be done.  It's sort of like following the rules. 
Either you do, or you don't.

Also keep in mind, the very people that are telling you this, is the
very ones that can help you most.  They are generally the experts that
have been doing this for a long time.  Poking them in the eye may not be
a good idea.

My $0.02 worth.  Your choice.
