Either click on the column header you want to sot by (twice for the
opposite order)

Or from the menu (press alt if you don't see a menu)
view/sort-by/whatever

If you turn on the menu bar if not already on (right click near the top
of the window).

Then from the Sort menu you can set the methods used for sorting.

I find Sort by Ascending, Order Received, and Threaded works well. That
keeps the thread in the place they were first received, and you can
collapse then down to a single first post if you want.

Also have a look at doing a few filters to make life easier:

I tend to have a filter set to match my own posts and set them to a
different colour and also mark the thread as "watched". That way I can
easily go back to just threads I am participating in that have new posts
to see by seeing the "Threads" control in the menu to "Watched Threads
with Unread"

Kindly tell me how you avoid threads that morph into vegan hysterics!

Didn't something similar happen to the amateur radio group?

Not sure about your newsreader but I simply select 'ignore thread'.
Other options are to killfile on the usual suspects which does have the
problem that *if* they should post anything worth reading you won't see
it until it is replied to by someone outside the killfile.

Shift K on thunderbird - kill sub thread.

Indeed. Perhaps put the rubbish up in a different colour.

I'm not sure if Turnpike is that clever. Right click takes you to the
kill options. After that I'm not sure.

No. Just tried that and it kills the whole thread:-(

Might be useful to specify which software you are using to read it.

I'm sure you can split a thread with Turnpike.

i apologise for that it was not intensional, just my ignorance. Thanks
for the replies very useful, the first by Andy hit the nail on the head,
now fixed, however the remainder were informative and added to my small
knowledge. :-)

Unfortunately you'll probably find, if you toggle between viewing all
messages or unread messages, that the sort order gets munged again, at
least it does for me ...
