summary buffer: wrong temporal order (permanent)

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Steps:

    1. Just for experiments I used the newest thunderbird version, and I
       shouldn't have done this, because thunderbird moved, in my gmail
       account around 100 message to the junk folder

    2. I moved them back manually

    3. However now, when I enter the INBOX in gnus the message are not
       properly ordered with respect to their dates.

    4. gnus-summary-sort-by-date solves the issue, however only
       temporary. So every time I quit gnus and open it again the
       messages are not correctly ordered.

Anybody has an idea what to do?

Thanks

Uwe Brauer

For performance reasons, I think, Gnus defaults to sorting by number
rather than date, so when you moved various emails out of INBOX and then
back, the ordering got less close to "by date" than usual.

I thought you could configure your INBOX group to sort by date by
setting gnus-article-sort-functions to 'gnus-article-sort-by-date in the
group parameters, or globally, but I can't get it to work...

Ah! That's because I have threading turned on - if you have that,
gnus-thread-sort-functions is the variable you want to mess with.

E.g. on INBOX you could press G p to edit the group parameters and then
put:

  ((gnus-thread-sort-functions 'gnus-thread-sort-by-date))

Then press C-c C-c and Bob should be your uncle.


  Best regards,

Well I did both also 

(gnus-article-sort-functions 'gnus-thread-sort-by-date)
> Then press C-c C-c and Bob should be your uncle.

Well more likely Adam 😉
