Hello,
1. C-c C-s C-d does sort by date, what's the combo for sort by reverse date?
2. I installed bbdb, and I could see messages like "Parsing BBDB..." when I starts
Gnus, but how do I add an contact to BBDB from my incoming email, or choose a contact
when I compose a new mail? I read the BBDB manual & also tried to search that in google
but no results.
Thanks in advance.

Try prefix it with C-u C-c C-s C-d. Lots of command has alternative
behaviour if given the C-u prefix. Also, some command takes numeric prefix.
For eg: C-u 7 C-n moves your cursor down 7 lines.

Ah it works. Thanks!
but .. what's the corresponding lisp command? what's the reverse for (gnus-summary-sort-by-date) ??
And how do I customize default sorting methods for different groups?
Thank you!

That command is (gnus-summary-sort-by-date) :)
When you pass a non-nil argument to it, it sorts in reverse order:
gnus-summary-sort-by-date is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`gnus-sum'.
(gnus-summary-sort-by-date &optional REVERSE)
Sort the summary buffer by date.
Argument REVERSE means reverse order.
If you want a function that does this without having to specify an
argument, you can do the following:
(defun my-gnus-summary-sort-by-date-rev ()
(interactive)
(gnus-summary-sort-by-date t))

> Thank you!
You can set up a `gnus-summary-generate-hook', as follows:
(defun my-gnus-article-sort-by-date-rev (h1 h2)
;; swap the argument order to do a reverse sort
(gnus-article-sort-by-date h2 h1))
(defun my-gnus-summary-generate-hook ()
(when (and (not (null gnus-newsgroup-name))
(stringp gnus-newsgroup-name))
(cond
((string-match "\\(foo\\|bar\\)" gnus-newsgroup-name)
(setq gnus-article-sort-functions '(my-gnus-article-sort-by-date-rev))
t)
(t
(setq gnus-article-sort-functions '(gnus-article-sort-by-date))
t))))
(add-hook 'gnus-summary-generate-hook 'my-gnus-summary-generate-hook)

Using (not gnus-summary-sort-by-date) in `gnus-article-sort-functions'
is easier.

You can set `gnus-article-sort-functions' in `gnus-parameters' ...
("foo"
(gnus-article-sort-functions
'(gnus-article-sort-by-subject gnus-article-sort-by-score)))
... or by customizing a group or a topic: `G c'.
Bye, Reiner.
