Sorting some groups differently...

Sorting some groups differently...

[Andy Eskilsson]

I would like to sort the summary buffer of some groups differently
than the others, I seem to remember that the solution were in the
group parameters, but how?

 Just walk by my side and be my friend.

Nope.  You need to change the gnus-thread-sort-functions variable on entry
to the group.  Read the docs on the variable.  I do it in the
gnus-summary-generate-hook.  The basic set up look something like this:

(defun jmv-gnus-prepare-groups ()
            ;; My mail groups, sort by date and score
      (cond ((string-match "nnbabyl:mail" gnus-newsgroup-name)
	     (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date
						gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score)
		   ))
	    ;; My personal archives, sort by subject
	    ((string-match "nnfolder:archive" gnus-newsgroup-name)
	     (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-subject)
		   ))
	    ;; The Gnus outgoing mail/news archives, sort by date
	    ((string-match "nnfolder+archive" gnus-newsgroup-name)
	     (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date)
		   ))
	    ;; Gnus draft group, sort by date
	    ((string-match "nndraft" gnus-newsgroup-name)
	     (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date)
		   ))
	    ;; All the rest (nntp), sort by subject and score
	    (t
	     (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-subject
						gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score)
		   ))
	    )
)
