In the message header panel, upper right corner, on the same line with the column titles, there is a small icon with a down arrow. Click on that icon, and you have numerous choices for columns.
That's an easy one,if you have threads, like from people replying to your e-mails.
In first place, I like to see the newest e-mails first, so I select View|Sort by|Descending. I put a tick mark at "date". Finally, I go down all the way to Threaded. Essentially, I have to make three choices.
You will save a change as you make any of the changes.
The several responses were confusing to me. Perhaps I misled.
What I want to do is sort by thread (subject) and within those threads, I want to sort by date/time. That way I can follow the threads as entered.

Single click, highlight target folder.
Now go TB's menu bar (?) and click on View.
Move your cursor down the list to Sort by.
A drop-down menu is now displayed, select Threaded.
This will group emails by subject as 1st sort.
You can now click on the icon/column and choose your 2nd sort. I prefer date.
I use this on one of my folders (sub-folder of in-box). It is for my work, does not receive much mail, but works very well in keeping "threaded" replies in groups. Hope it works for you
