I'm not sure if that's exactly what you want but you might like and try:
 set up this line in preferences.xml:
--------
<flag name='thread-headers' value='true'/>
--------

 and for the groups you want to MSOEfy (oh why ?-D) in the file 
group-preferences.xml
in their own paragraph put or modify the lines:
--------
     <flag name='header-pane-sort-ascending' value='false'/>
    <int name='header-pane-sort-column' value='6'/>
--------

or, if you want to OE-bortch all the groups add/modify in preferences.xml:
--------
<flag name='header-pane-sort-ascending' value='true'/>
<int name='header-pane-sort-column' value='6'/>
--------
