Can you double sort your emails? I.e. by subject then date?
I would like to sort my email by subject first, then within the subject group, sort those by date. Is that possible?

The backend supports secondary sorts and if you first sort on date column, then on subject column, it should work. The problem is that there is no useful user interface to make this anything but painful and undiscoverable.
The TotalMessage extension implements one click widgets in the subject column to enable fast access to various threading/sorting/grouping/column management actions. You can easily see which primary/secondary sorts are in use, which are supported by the backend, which are custom columns (no secondary sort available) etc.

I don't know of any way to sort like that.
I'd sidestep the problem by moving associated messages to their own folder, where you can sort them in whatever way you want, e.g. by date, or I'd use the QuickFilter enhancement Expression Search/Gmail UI to display just the required messages, and then sort by date.
If you have some deep-seated objection to moving messages into folders, then a Saved Search is another way to herd related messages together.
