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. kai -- Silence is foo!
