Not what I can see. But the documentation also
includes this:

   Each function takes two threads and returns non-nil
   if the first thread should be sorted before the
   other. If you use more than one function, the
   primary sort function should be the last. You
   should probably always include
   `gnus-thread-sort-by-number' in the list of sorting
   functions -- preferably first. Also note that
   sorting by date is often much slower than sorting
   by number, and the sorting order is very similar.
   (Sorting by date means sorting by the time the
   message was sent, sorting by number means sorting
   by arrival time.)

So perhaps you could try that and see it it works?
