No, that's right...  I think you'll have to write your own comparison
functions to do that:

(defun sten-sort (info1 info2)
  (let ((n1 (car (gnus-gethash (gnus-info-group info1) gnus-newsrc-hashtb)))
	(n2 (car (gnus-gethash (gnus-info-group info2) gnus-newsrc-hashtb))))
    (or (< (gnus-info-level info1) (gnus-info-level info2))
	(and (= (gnus-info-level info1) (gnus-info-level info2))
	     (< (or (and (numberp n1) n1) 0)
		(or (and (numberp n2) n2) 0))))))

Or something like that.  (Would it be the other way around, perhaps?)

Nope.  Could you illustrate what you had in mind?
