I didn't commit it because I think it isn't right.  It would be
doctoring the symptoms instead of curing the disease.  At least
that's the way I understand it.

OTOH, I've been looking at where gnus-newsgroup-headers comes from,
and it could indeed come from a non-sorted input.  Hm.  (For example,
if gnus-select-newsgroup is called with some articles to select, then
that list of articles could be non-sorted.)  Hmmm...  An uneasy
feeling remains.  I'm not sure what to do, or what to think.

Anyone?
