I sort my summary threads as follows:
;; More logical ordering within thread:
(setq gnus-sort-gathered-threads-function 'gnus-thread-sort-by-date)
;;
;; Like Gmail: bubble most recently active threads to the bottom:
;;
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions
'(
(not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date)
))
This is helpful to me because I get mail forwarded from a variety of
servers, and frequently the dates are out of order.
However, when I use C-d to read a digest, I want to read the
individual messages by number, not date.
Is there a way to modify these sort functions to sort by number when
I'm reading a digest?
Ted

Yes. Here is my gnus-parameters setting:
(setq gnus-parameters '(("nndoc:.*"
(gnus-show-threads nil)
(gnus-article-sort-functions
(list 'gnus-article-sort-by-number)))
("nnrss:.*"
(mm-discouraged-alternatives nil)
(gnus-article-sort-functions
'(gnus-article-sort-by-number))
(gnus-show-threads nil)
(total-expire . t))))
which you can modify to suit your needs.
