That is all true. But, I cannot explain some of the behaviour I'm getting. Notice the two threads here: The first one, is sorted very well according to what I expect. The second one has some flaws with regards to the sort. It looks like, once authors of messages write to others (rather than replying one after another, chronologically), that's when the mix-up happens.
