Right click on the header bar of the message list, then Customise View
-> Sort.  You then can choose 4 levels of sorting.  

And yes, "status" is more than just Read/Unread.  There's no "Sort by
Read/Unread".  (If you think there should be then file an enhancement
bug.)

Once you have a folder how you want it to look, then Save the view
(View -> Current View -> Save Custom View ... and give it a name). It
will become the default (so you never have to even click on headers
when you create a new folder) and if you need to switch a folder to how
you like it, then just View -> Current View and click on the name
you've given the view.
