Description
Top posting in a thread, causes the top-posts to be ordered prior to the original post. This creates a very confusing nested view when viewing the whole thread.
See, for example, [this thread](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/8b6ec5f17e277ed2d01e8df61eb1f1f42266cd30b9e114cb431c1c17@%3Cdev.fluo.apache.org%3E).

Research direction
Reproduce the nested thread view using the linked Apache mailing-list example, then trace the message ordering and thread-rendering entry points in the Pony Mail web interface. Done means top-posted messages no longer appear before the original post when the whole thread is displayed.
