[PATCH 1/2] over: re-sort Subject matches for WWW /T/ endpoint

[Eric Wong <e@80x24.org>]

When retrieving loose (Subject) matches for a thread, we wanted
the most recent matches in reverse chronological order.
However, when displaying the /T/ endpoint generating the thread
skeleton, we prefer ascending chronological order to match the
flow of the conversation.
