Subject: Sorting threads after gathering threads
Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2014 18:27:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87iomiigje.fsf@maru2.md5i.com> (raw)
I am on an automated mailing list which I automatically filter into a
separate Gnus group. Each message on this list is an individual,
non-threaded messages. Many of these messages are indeed related, and
this can be determined by the subject. I have put my own
subject-simplifying function in the `gnus-simplify-subject-functions'
variable for this group. This correctly gathers the individual messages
into threads.
Now the problem: I want to sort the *Summary* buffer like this: Each
thread is sorted from the oldest to the newest message by date. The
*Summary* buffer is sorted by the most recent date in each thread.
This seems like it should be simple: Set
`gnus-sort-gathered-threads-function' to `gnus-thread-sort-by-date', and
set `gnus-thread-sort-functions' to
`gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date'. (Well, I lie a little. I
actually want the reverse of `gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date',
putting the oldest threads at the top, but that's easy to hack.)
But this doesn't seem to do what I want. It looks like Gnus makes
threads, sorts them, gathers the threads, and then sorts within the
threads. The upshot is my threads get gathered correctly, and the
messages in a thread are sorted correctly, but the threads are sorted by
(I believe accident) the oldest message in each thread, rather than the
most recent.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to achieve my desired
result?
