I don't know for sure, but I don't think it's doable without downloading
all articles headers, sorting them by date, and then showing only the
latest 100.
Which is the same as downloading all article with C-u RET RET and
sorting them by date.
Gnus is the only MUA I know able to dowload only the latest N articles.
All others download all the articles.
So you may are expecting something from Gnus that is not doable at all,
and that no other MUA does for a good reason. :)
