Yes, that is correct.

Yeah, I was afraid it wasn't possible right now.  What is the formal
method for submitting a feature request, along with some ideas on how
the feature could be handled?  (eg a $sort_aux_threads variable for
intra-thread sorting, which only has effect if
sort=(reverse-)?threads)
