OK, I should have been able to figure that out by myself... sorry about that.

Now that I've figured out how it works I've defined a function that
easily let me sort my folder by the subject or from fields. FYI:

(defun my-mh-sort-folder (arg)
  "Sort current folder by subject or sender."
  (interactive "p")
  (if (= 1 arg)
      (setq mh-sortm-args '(-textfield subject -limit 0)))
  (if (= 2 arg)
      (setq mh-sortm-args '(-textfield from -limit 0)))
  (mh-sort-folder 4))
