I have tried that...well, actually I was using this: (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '((not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-number) (not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date))) Per your suggestion I also tried: (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '((not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-number))) In both cases this only gets the order I want (most recent message / thread with most recent message ordered towards bottom) when gathering threads by reference. When gathering threads by subject, messages are ordered towards the bottom with sorting done by the root/oldest message of threads rather than the most recent message. I'm still getting: A (2 Feb 13:49) =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=96=BA A (4 Feb 20:05) B (2 Feb 18:09) C (5 Feb 01:19) I included various other threading-related settings in my previous post thinking there might be some other factors contributing to this.
