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? -- underground experts united
