This variable says how to sort *within* a thread which may > be what you are looking for. In fact, I wanted to use 'gnus-thread-sort-by-date for gnus-thread-sort-functions.

(Sorting by date means sorting by the time the message was sent, sorting by number means sorting by arrival time.) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
