This bug appears to persist in 8.1.0 beta.

steps to reproduce:

1) with threads disabled, sort messages by reversed-date (G "reversed-
date")

2) enable threads (C-t)

the threads will become sorted by *increasing* date.  In addition, the
messages within any individual thread will also be sorted by increasing
date.

Ideally, a fix for this issue would not just preserve sort order when
interactively enabling threads, but also if threads are turned on by
default in .emacs.  E.g.

(setq-default vm-ml-sort-keys "reversed-date")
(setq-default vm-summary-show-threads t)

in .emacs should make vm summary buffers all default to threaded with
reversed-date sort.

summary threads should respect vm-ml-sort-keys

Bug description:
I would like to both show threads (i.e. set vm-summary-show-threads) and have them sorted in reversed-date order.  But it appears that there is no way to control the sort order of threads.
