Scott, there is no shortcut to leave this sort mode. Pressing 'G' again should
switch into unthreaded sort mode. 

By the way we could also need a shortcut for threaded mode. So we could switch
between all three sort modes.

After discussing this feature to have a shortcut for switching into a special
sort mode we finally came to the result that it's not good. How often do you
switch between different modes? That's rarely. We shouldn't waste a one key
shortcut for that. Scott, what was your reason to add this shortcut especially
for that sort mode?

This "fix" causes substantial breakage for many other people (bug 199019, bug
275871, bug 309010, et al).
