I'm still not sure that I get your wishes right. You want the most recent
post on bottom. That would require a non-threaded view:
<[x]Rev.sort by [Date]>.

But you also mentioned "Thread" in your sorting scheme. To sort threads
by first available posting with most recent thread on bottom you need
to apply:
<[Thread, Max.Score,Rev.Date]> or <[Thread, Avg.Score,Rev.Date]>

Both only differ if you do use scoring. Else the scoring part just
has no effect on the sort order. The <[x]Rev. sort by> switch has no
effect in these sortings.

You can't sort threads on last posting received, though, without applying
scoring based on date/time received. - IMHO. - This would not be a too
easy thing to accomplish... ;-)

It has some predefined sorting orders, which may sometimes seem a bit
limited. But these orders can be applied in almost too many places:
* Menu Group->DefaultGroupOptions->Sorting/Scoring
* the same from Settings menu
* Menu Group->SelectedGroupOptions->Sorting/Scoring
* the same from Settings menu
* Sort/Filter-Toolbar
* direct access of column headers of the header pane (consecutive
left mouse clicks change the sorting based on the definition
appointed to that column)
* Menu Settings->Layout->EditHeaderListColumns->->->SortBy
* the same from right click onto the column headers of the header pane

In any of these cases you clearly see the main sorting criterion
indicated by a gray triangle inside the column header of *that*
column of the header pane which is related to the main sort order.
