Change sort order and view-first-message for just one topic?

Change sort order and view-first-message for just one topic?

[Jack Twilley]

I'd like to make my nnslashdot group reading work more like slashdot,
which would involve inverting the sort order and viewing the first
message upon entering the group.

I know that means setting gnus-auto-select-first to t and unsetting
gnus-thread-sort-functions.  But I'm not sure how to make that happen
only in my nnslashdot topic, which holds all my nnslashdot groups.

Thoughts?
Jack.

Suppose you have (subscribe . "nnslashdot:") in the nnslashdot topic
parameters. Type `G p' on the topic button, then enter the following:

((subscribe . "nnslashdot:")
 (gnus-auto-select-first t)
 (gnus-thread-sort-functions nil))

Duh.  Group parameters work on topics.  Duh.  Thank you.
