I use the S key to instantly switch between threaded and time-sorted views in mutt: ### in muttrc: # By default we want threaded sort source ~/.mutt/sort-threads.rc ### sort-threads.rc: set sort=threads macro index S "<enter-command>source ~/.mutt/sort-date.rc<enter>" ### sort-date.rc: set sort=date macro index S "<enter-command>source ~/.mutt/sort-threads.rc<enter>" -- [a]
