OrderSubj is what I use too, and it is better than nothing.
 
But, because it orders all messages with a given subject according to the 
time in which they were *received*locally*, rather than in terms of the 
(universal, GMT) time at which they were *transmitted*, often the 
ordering is jumbled and makes it it difficult to make sense of the thread.

(i.e. responses precede the originating message of the thread).
