There is already a patch available:
  o https://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1491
  o https://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=1710&action=diff

I can confirm this patch works as I expect.

This patch was left unreviewed, which makes me think this behavior will
not be merged. But as an user I think this should be the default
behavior.

If this patch is to be merged, what needs to be done? I'm guessing if a
new option for sorting thread-specific scenario is added in the GUI
menu, then the default behavior will remain unaltered, and users can
choose to opt-in for this patch.

If adding an entry in the GUI menu increases the chance of this patch
being merged, I will take the responsibility to implement that - but
I'll need confirmation. After working with GUI, if it's not merged, then
I'll have to keep rebasing/cherrypicking, rendering my work in GUI
worthless.
