No, I'm afraid it is not easy to do that. The number 40 refers to
the headers that Gnus requests from the backend, and Gnus performs
the sorting only afterwards, so the header request cannot acommodate
the sorting rules.
You would have to request all headers from the backend, then sort
them, then take the last 40 according to the sorting. Hm. I think
there is no built-in functionality in Gnus for doing this.
