I've been gathering threads by subject, and sorting by date. What I'd like to do instead is sort by "last date the thread way active". Finding and sorting on the latest date in a thread isn't hard, I wrote that code. Problem is, the thread gathering assumes that when threads are gathered, they should go in the position of the first thread, and the sorting is applied before gathering threads. In my case, the latest thread is the last one, and that's the position where I want the gathered threads to go. I could probably get something more consistent to happen by putting newest threads first, but I want the current (oldest-first) style of listing both for sorting gathered threads and for the separate threads gathered together. I just want to use the latest date in the gathered threads as the sort key. Can I have some sort of option to control how gathered threads are placed, or perhaps sort after gathering? Ken
