no, it's not currently possible to do. it is, however, in bugzilla as a
feature request. the problem is that ETree is what does the sorting and
the way it sorts it is each level individually. So top level gets sorted
by date. Then the sublevel gets sorted by date, etc etc etc...

this means that the mailer will have to perform its own sorting which
makes things a lot more complicated.
