I have been using the gnus-thread-sort-functions. If I change the thread sort functions from number and subject to date and subject, the problem doesn't seem to correct itself. I am setting this variable in my gnus-summary-generate-hook, which appears to be the correct place to do such things. The article numbers and dates are Article 12947, Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 20:49:19 -0700 Subject: Re: BikeBrain Software Article 12948, Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 00:03:56 -0600 Subject: BikeBrain Software Article 12949, Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 10:18:17 -0500 Subject: Re: BikeBrain Software And I am always getting sorted by article number, rather than date. As you can see, it should be 12948 that gets sorted first. When does the Thread Gathering take place? Gnus seems to be doing this before it worries about things like sorting the threads. If so, sorting by date will not affect the order of articles within a given thread (or which thread is the parent). -- Jack Vinson
