However, this one keeps getting on my frail nerves.  There seems to be
no way in vanilla mutt to sort the index view such that the latest

with a long active thread, I keep landing in the middle of old inactive
threads.

A minimal example would be:

  1   2015-07-01 Mr Foo       Boring subject
  2   2015-07-02 Miss Bar     Exciting subject
N 3   2015-07-13 Mr Foo       |-> Re: Exciting subject
  4   2015-07-03 Mr Foobar    Another boring subject

I want:

  1   2015-07-01 Mr Foo       Boring subject
  2   2015-07-03 Mr Foobar    Another boring subject
  3   2015-07-02 Miss Bar     Exciting subject
N 4   2015-07-13 Mr Foo       |-> Re: Exciting subject

Perhaps there is a patch providing this?  It must have been requested
before :)

Seems like you're looking for:

set sort     = threads
set sort_aux = last-date-received

By contrast, I use this:

 set sort=reverse-threads
 set sort_aux=last-date
