There are a couple of things in your request that I am unclear on:
Do you want to sort by receipt time or sending time? You say both as
though they were interchangeable, but they are quite different.
Do you want threading, or sorting-by-date after sorting-by-subject?
Often, messages in a grouping/thread/whatever are either in
chronological order or are threaded, but they cannot usually be both.
