In Oort Gnus, this is possible using the following:

(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-number))

I think it makes no sense to sort by date, as the number is the
arrival date and the date is the departure date -- these presumably
have a very high correlation.  Sorting by date is much slower than
sorting by number.
