gnus-summary-toggle-threads and sort by dates. Latest reply first?

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

May be I am missing something fundamentally, but this is the behavior I
observer in my mail groups:

    -  suppose I have to threads: 

    -  one starts June 1, 

    -  the other June 2.

    -  the are then ordered like this

Thread 1: June 1

Thread 2: June 2

    -  suppose now that  latest reply is within the thread starting June
       1.

    -  even using gnus-summary-sort-by-date
       the order of the threads does not change!


Like this
Thread 1. June 1: Test
           June 1: Reply
            June 5: Other 
Tread 2   June 2: Test
           June 2: Reply
            June 4: Reply



Would it be possible to implement a feature that the sorting be date is
with respect to the last message in the thread not to the first?


Thanks

There is already the sorting predicate function
`gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date'.  But there was no command
`gnus-summary-sort-by-date' yet.

Could you try if current CVS or the following command meets your
expectations?

(defun gnus-summary-sort-by-most-recent-date (&optional reverse)
  "Sort the summary buffer by most recent date.
Argument REVERSE means reverse order."
  (interactive "P")
  (gnus-summary-sort 'most-recent-date reverse))

Bye, Reiner.

Thanks I tested it with ngnus-10 (3weeks old) it seems to fit my needs
but I will continue testing it and report back
