Sorting a thread by the oldest element is a major problem, and if intentional
is a major design error.
It doesn't matter if this design error was made over 10 years ago or not.

Many long threads last months, and can last years.
What is the utility of hiding new messages among messages months or more old ?

I've been trying to convert to Claws mail for the mH box storage, but sorry to
say, this bug is a show stopper.  I would never be able to find many recent
messages, among the hundreds I receive every month on some busy lists.  For
these lists, threads are the only way to follow the discussion.

The only logical rationale for keeping the current sort order would be wanting
to avoid dealing with longer discussions.

This is clearly not an "enhancement", but a "major" bug.
