Thanks! For me, and also from the manual, I don't find this method: 

Error in /home/gt/.muttrc, line 187: reverse-date-received: unknown sorting method

Perhaps, you meant: 

set sort_aux=reverse-last-date-received

which I tried as a guess, even though it does not seem to be in the manual but does not give an error and seems to work. Thanks!!
