Only root messages should be sorted in reverse chronological order,
child messages should be chronological.  This gives precedence to
_topics_, but also for initial replies.

This improves readability when several messages appear at the same
nesting level, and helps git patch series' appear correctly as:

	[PATCH 0/3] ...
		[PATCH 1/3] ...
		[PATCH 2/3] ...
		[PATCH 3/3] ...

Instead of (what it was previously):

	[PATCH 0/3] ...
		[PATCH 3/3] ...
		[PATCH 2/3] ...
		[PATCH 1/3] ...
