Yes, there is - as I see it, you did not quite understand it.
Simply do 'View > Sort > Don't sort' once, and Sylpheed does exactly what
you want!!
The threads will remain sorted by date anyway, since they are added at the

If, on rare occasions, old messages happen to get mixed up because of
moving messages between folders, then if you re-sort them by date, this
should be followed by a new 'Don't sort'.
