The simple answer is: Not by clicking a button or selecting a menu
option, but possible of course.

There are a number of ways you can do this in a roundabout way.

No script required:
1. Set up filter to assign each domain a specific score, and then
   sort by Score.
2. Set up filter to assign each domain a tag, and then sort by Tags.

These have obvious drawbacks like the messages may not be listed
in order within the domain, or you may have too many domains to
manually set up that many filters, etc.

With script, the possibilities are far too many to list but to give
you an example, you could use one to extract the domain name & date
or message number, and put the combination in a tag, and then sort
by that tag.

Hope this helps.
