Sorting threads, my way

Sorting threads, my way

[wjhardaker]

So, I'm tired of missing messages in my inbox because I sort my
threads by number (easiest age specification) and they end up too high
up in the buffer (or more likely in the middle) and I don't see them.
This only sorts the top messages in the thread though.  What'd I like
is that when a new article comes in, that the entire thread is moved
back to the bottom.  In other words, I want to sort by the highest
number in the entire thread.  Has anyone done this?  Is it too slow?

I don't think it would be particularly slow, and writing is should be
easy enough.  Just look at what `gnus-thread-total-score' does, and
instead of adding together scores, just return `max' of all the
message numbers.
