And that would reduce a _lot_ the number of threads to sort. I may be wrong, but I think that rearranging the articles in the summary buffer is a little complicated in Gnus. I don't think there's any reason that the thread sorting needs to take a significant amount of time if done correctly. Moreover, I never hide threads, so I want them sorted correctly from the start.
