Of course, it is *Gnus*!  ;-)

This is what you need to do:

(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date
				   gnus-thread-sort-by-subject
                                   gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score))


Here is the reference:

`gnus-thread-sort-functions' is a variable declared in Lisp.

Value: (gnus-thread-sort-by-date gnus-thread-sort-by-subject gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score)

Documentation:
*List of functions used for sorting threads in the summary buffer.
By default, threads are sorted by article number.

Each function takes two threads and return non-nil if the first thread
should be sorted before the other.  If you use more than one function,
the primary sort function should be the last.  You should probably
always include `gnus-thread-sort-by-number' in the list of sorting
functions -- preferably first.

Ready-made functions include `gnus-thread-sort-by-number',
`gnus-thread-sort-by-author', `gnus-thread-sort-by-subject',
`gnus-thread-sort-by-date', `gnus-thread-sort-by-score' and
`gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score' (see `gnus-thread-score-function').
