Why is this an option?

Well, the "Sorted by Threading" should not be available (i.e. should be grayed-out and definitely not clickable) when threading is disabled. Are you sure you were able to select it?

It turns out that I was wrong when speaking about combining threading and a custom sort -- Trojita *can* do that, it will sort bythe thread roots in that case. Which is why the option is there -- if someone wants to have a threaded view and sort the threads by, say, thesender's mail, they can. Which is why this option is in place.

I guess it might be rather misleading, though -- I'll look into merging that with the sorting menu [1].

(Sorry for a double-post, Trojita ignores List-Reply-To and I failed to include the ML the first time. That's [2].)

One other note on this, the fact that you can't sort by arrival through the sorting menu, but instead have to uncheck the 'sort by threads' option is suboptimal.
