Hi all,
first I found a documentation bug.
Section (info "(gnus)Sorting the Summary Buffer") mentions a function
`gnus-thread-sort-by-date-reverse' that's not defined (in No
Gnus). That's not needed anyway because (not gnus-thread-sort-by-date)
already does what the function's name suggests.
Ok, and now a sorting question. I'd like to have threads sorted this
way:
- On top are threads with highest total score
- If scores are equal, then the thread with the most recent
articles comes first
- If that's equal, then sort by number
That's easily done with
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions
'(gnus-thread-sort-by-number
gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date
gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But _inside_ a thread, I'd like to sort according to the articles date
(on that branching level). Here's an example:
09:00 -- 09:01
|- 09:03
|- 09:17 -- 09:22
| |- 11:20 -- 13:45
| | `- 14:00
| `- 12:11
`- 11:57
With the `gnus-thread-sort-functions' above newer articles are on
top. That's quite inconvenient because often posters refer to earlier
postings, e.g. Reiner says in the article on 11:57: "As Katsumi pointed
out in his article on 9:03,...". Of course I don't have read that older
article at that time yet.
How can I do that?
Bye,
Tassilo

I have also found this error in the doc. See:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/65191
Can someone fix it?

The sorting thing is completely mysterious to me. I want threads to be
sorted by the largest article number within the thread in a ascending
order. I tried `(not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-number)' but I am
still seeing some threads not sorted under this rule.
Can someone help?
