Thanks to those who took the time to help.  Here is my current solution,
which is acceptable to me, and installed in my `.gnus' file:


;; Sorting of articles in the summary.
(setq gnus-article-sort-functions
      '((lambda (t1 t2) (not (gnus-article-sort-by-number t1 t2))))
      gnus-thread-sort-functions
      '((lambda (t1 t2) (not (gnus-thread-sort-by-number t1 t2)))))
(defun fp-gnus-select-group-routine ()
  (let ((name gnus-newsgroup-name))
    (setq gnus-show-threads (and (not (string= name "i18n.all"))
				 (not (string= name "i18n.incoming"))))))
(add-hook 'gnus-select-group-hook 'fp-gnus-select-group-routine)


It is based on the fact that I discovered that I like seeing last messages
first, so I activated it everywhere.  Threading works nicely using
this, as the sort is reverse among threads, but forward within threads.
I preferred to not use `G p', even if it is nicer, because my `.gnus'
gets remotely synchronised between systems (including splitting rules),
while `.newsrc.eld' just may not be.
