I was maybe as new as you not too long ago, and ran into a similar problem. It was because I had inadvertently toggled threading off, and this "mode" needed to have sorting enabled as well, a la article-thread-sort-functions. Perhaps this would work: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '((not gnus-thread-sort-by-date))) (setq gnus-article-sort-functions '((not gnus-article-sort-by-date))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- HTH -- Brady
