Hello,
How can I sort threads by date, so that the last message (by date) of a
thread will be always at the bottom of the thread and instead of sorting
threads by the root, I would like to sort them by the last message.
Example:
some subject
├►
│└► (A)
└►
└► (B)
some other subject
└►
└► (C)
---> C later than B later than A
(I'm coming from alpine and mutt, where this was easy to do...)
TIA for any hints!

Have a look at:
,----[ C-h v gnus-thread-sort-functions RET ]
| gnus-thread-sort-functions is a variable defined in `gnus-sum.el'.
| Its value is (gnus-thread-sort-by-number
| (not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date)
| gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score)
`----
I sort by score, then by date of last article, then by number. So you
most probably want something like:
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions
'(gnus-thread-sort-by-number
(not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date)))
Bye,
Tassilo

That's it, thanks!
After reading
"Note that sorting really is normally done by looking only at the
roots of each thread."
I was quite sure, that it would be nearly impossible to do...
Thus, please find attached a little patch for the documentation.

Applied!
Thank you a lot.

BTW: If you would have sent a patch created with git format-patch, you'd
also be listed in the git logs as author. Next time... :-)

Please mark it as a "tiny change" unless we have papers from Peter.
Bye, Reiner.

I don't know if we do have papers from him. How can I find out?
And how do I mark it as tiny change? Add a (tiny change) to the
ChangeLog?

I don't think so... What kind of papers? Anyway, it *is* a tiny change.
I don't see the relationship between "papers" and "tiny"...

Copyright assignment papers for Gnus (or Emacs).

Yeah, for tiny changes you don't have to sign papers. But Reiner
suggested that tiny changes have to be "marked" as such, and I have no
clue what marking means in this context.

Just write "(tiny change)" in the ChangeLog. See
