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. -- Chris
