I have a feature request regarding Kmail's wonderful threaded email list view:

I would like threads to be sorted not according to their oldest, but their _newest_ message, so that a thread with new messaged comes to the top (or bottom) of the list and is easy to review.

Currently, a reply to a very old message can be hundreds or thousands of emails up (or down) the list which is horrible in regard to usablity. I am aware of the status combobox, but having threads come to the top (or bottom) automatically would make my life _much_ easier, especially since I always have many unread emails in my folders. I sometimes simply overlook emails!

Thanks a lot!
