As Magnus already explained you have to decide how messages on the same
level inside a thread have to be sorted. KMail currently uses the
selected sorting by column for this. If you don't believe me than test
it with this nice gigantic thread.

This is the nsmail way. KMail respects the sorting by column you
selected even if threading is enabled.

Maybe someone wants to sort the threads by the people who started them.
