Just for each unique string keep a quark (a unique number) and store that in the summary items. Or something like that. This of course means retrieving the information, converting it to these quarks and then storing it consistently (in the same way between sessions). Well, I of course welcome your contribution that makes this a sortable field, mgedmin :-). If you have questions about re-enabling the downloading of this field, just ask.

When you have a big discussion thread with multiple simultaneous subthreads going on, grouping by subject then sorting by date won't work.
