Note that holding down ⌥ expands the entire thread. Also when using 
right arrow to expand a thread.

This is because strict threading does not work well with reversed date 
sorting. To work well, this would require what I call “group” 
threading (single-level threading). This is still on the todo.

If you don't want threads at all then I recommend disabling “View ▸ 
Organize by Thread”. This setting, by the way, is saved together with 
columns when using “View ▸ Columns ▸ Use as Default Columns” (a 
bit illogical, I know).
