Sort emails by time in mutt

mutt

Currently my threads in mutt are sorted by descending order of date, but emails on the same date are sorted in ascending order of time.

This is what I have in my .muttrc:

set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"'
set sort_aux = reverse-last-date-received  # like gmail
set date_format = "%m/%d/%t"

Do you guys have any ideas for this? I tried searching, but I am not sure if anyone else found this problem.

Thanks!

Not all of the combinations give useful results, but this may help:

set sort_aux = last-date-received                           
set sort = reverse-threads

The entries have the requested ordering, though threads look odd:

I'm more used to this (no reverses):
