gnus-group-sort-function

Does this variable have any effect when in topic-mode?  No matter how I
set it, the groups are not sorted.

I'd guess they don't have any effect in topics mode.  For sorting
groups in each topic see (info "(gnus)Topic Sorting").

We might mention it in the doc string of `gnus-group-sort-function'
and the manual.  Anyone?

Bye, Reiner.

I think it does.  I use topics, too, and when I say C-c C-s in *Group*
the groups are sorted by alphabet in each topic.
