Hi,

I don't have an answer for your question, but I can say that I'm seeing
the same thing...  In my .gnus I've set

(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions
      '((not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-number)))


And I will still have threads that appear out of order.  That is, I will
have a thread with a message dated Dec-07.  That thread will appear
before a message posted Nov-31.  Strangely it seems to have many less
"misses" without the '(not)' in there, other then the fact that you end
up with the bizarre "newest mail/news at the top", which has never
worked for me.  (Try explaining 'n'ext and 'p'revious to someone when
your mail/news is backwards like that! :)

Not sure if my google-foo is weak or if others aren't seeing this
problem, but it would be great if someone could confirm that this is
either a bug in Gnus, or a bug in the user.
