I rather like this idea but the only reasonable way to implement it I see is to make clicking the status column trigger threading instead. I don't think sorting by status is that useful so I believe we can sacrifice it (or at least quickest access to it) for threading, what do you think?

Let me know if you think this shouldn't be done (and what should be done then).
