Hi folks,

when using sorting-by-date with C-c C-s C-d and enabling threading,
articles of the same depth within the same subthread are not sorted by
date but by number.

Actually, the sorting-method is apparently ignored for the order of
articles within threads.

How can I make pgnus taking care of the sorting-method within threads?

If you feed your local feed via nntp / suck / newsx & Co, this problem
usually never occurs, as the article numbers of the server to be
polled usually correlate to their date field.

However, I use taylor uucp to poll from an uucp system and taylor uucp
unfortunately tosses the batch order when processing the batches.  The
uucp system batches the news every hour and ofttimes I poll only every
2-4 days. The result is, that news articles 4 days younger than
another article have lower article numbers than the older article.

Thus I haevily *rely* upon correct sorting-by-date order within
threads.

Can anybody help?

the following example illustrates the current buggy behaviour of pgnus
related to sorting-methods within threads:

I have the following thread in a group of my local inn:

sorted accoring to article number (ascending):

sorted according to date (oldest first):

badly sorted by pgnus according to date (oldest first) & threading
enabled:

           [  22: Marko Longoni       ] 
           [  13: Thomas Rosanski     ] 


However, the correct order for sorting-by-date (oldest first) &
threading enabled, would be:

Fixed in CVS depository. Hopefully it won't happen in 5.8.8.

Thanks a lot for the incoming correction.  This always bothered me, too.
