Resolution:
-
UI Widget changed to toggle.
"Group by Thread" - causes messages to be grouped by thread, the order of the threads will still be subject to the column sorting. "Ungroup" - remove thread grouping. -
Sort by subject now uses the base subject (excluding artifacts RE, etc)

I find the sorting stuff to be confusing. You have these two special sorting things (thread and date), and then you overlay the column headers (even though date and subject are columns) and there is this weird "clear sort" button that puts things back to date sort, which is somehow different from no sort.
I kind of get that thread view is different from sort by subject, but it's subtle. But I don't see how column select date is different from click on date view, and why if you click on date, you get a clear sort button.
In a Date display, when you sort by Subject, shouldn't Re: , etc be a secondary sort order so that you get a sort-of thread listing? It appears to be a dumb full alphabetic sort of the entire content.
I would can the date/thread thing, make sort by subject get a thread display and be done with it.
