If I understand you correctly then part of the problem is that sorting 
by unread does not work well when it's not the root of the thread that 
is unread? (I guess I could just change that.)

Suggestion: Create a smart mailbox based on the Unread smart mailbox as 
follows. Click on the “Unread” mailbox, make sure no messages are 
selected, click on the “Thread” toolbar button, and then click 
“Save” to save it. This mailbox should contain the messages of any 
thread in which one or more unread messages exist. (Hmm, it behaves a 
bit weird when marking messages read since only the unread message 
itself is “sticky”. That is not ideal, but seems to be non-trivial 
to fix.)
