No - but it's an easy enough change to make if you want to hack it.  In 
ui.c find this bit of code:

int screen_line_bandwidth_compare(host_pair_line* aa, host_pair_line* 
bb, int start_div) {
     int i;
     for(i = start_div; i < HISTORY_DIVISIONS; i++) {
         if(aa->recv[i] + aa->sent[i] != bb->recv[i] + bb->sent[i]) {
             return(aa->recv[i] + aa->sent[i] < bb->recv[i] + bb->sent[i]);
         }
     }
     return 1;
}

and delete the "recv" part of each of the sums.  I guess it would be 
nice to sort based on what's on screen, but obviously that's a bit more 
involved.
