sorting within a topic?

There's no sorting command per se, but you can kill and yank
manually.

I thought that something along the lines of:

(setq gnus-group-sort-function 'gnus-group-sort-by-rank)

Was supposed to sort within topics?  No?  Might explain why its not
doing anything for me :-)

unfortunately killing and yanking screws up the topic map.  you'll have to
re-topic the group so it gets shoved to the end of that topic list.  if
not, the over all topic list gets very messy and what you thought was in
one topic ends up in the misc topic.

:-)  I hadn't thought about sorting groups inside topics.  It's
trivial to do, but it requires writing all the group sorting functions
anew.  Perhaps in Red Gnus.

I think killing and yanking works as advertised in September 0.32.

I'm beginning to like this feature freeze less and less.  :-(

Of course, I also want all the current bugs out as well.  I found a
new one today (or...  rather finally traced it to the proper source).
For the past X revisions, when I post an article it has always hung
until I finally get so annoyed that I hit ctrl-g.  It turns out that
ctrl-c ctrl-c was trying to call sendmail.  If I put a C-u 0 in front
of it it prompts for the send method, which I can then fill in as the
default 'news.ucdavis.edu (nntp)' or whatever it is.  (strangely
enough, it was actually getting caught in
'gnus-score-followup-article).  After removing that hook, it died in
'send-mail-and-exit' looking for '^-------\n'.
