In addition to what Peter said, I will add the following :

I use filters the same way as you.  I modified the display variable so
that instead of seeing the list address I see the sender's address.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# sorting for lists
folder-hook lists.* set sort=threads ; set sort_aux=date ;  \
	set index_format="%4C %Z%{%b%d} %-15.15F(%41) %s%| "
		# display the "From" not the list in index view
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By putting this in my .muttrc, I also get the list mail sorted by
threads.  (All my lists go into =lists/list_name)

HTH,
-D


(BTW, the index_format is only 1 (or was it 2) characters different
than the default, the docs on the web site explain it and the various
options)
