Yes, your threads seem to be in correct order.  I tried this and the
last lines of my mail threads look like this:

3953  A [  82: Johannes Schmidt       ] Re: CNS - project work available
3964        <  76: Johannes Schmidt       > 
3963    [  17: Harri Valpola          ] Re: Cortical maps
3965  A [  30: Harri Valpola          ] Re: Tulokset
3972        [   4: -> Jarmo Hurri         ] 

As far as I have understood, the first and second thread should be in
reverse order, right? And my ordering seems to follow the number of
the first mail in the thread.

The values of my variables are

`gnus-show-threads'
Value: t
`gnus-thread-sort-functions'
Value: ((not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-number))
`gnus-version'
Value: "Gnus v5.10.8"

If I use the non-reversed sorting, that is, if I set the variable

`gnus-thread-sort-functions'
Value: (gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-number)

then the top of the buffer looks like this

3965  A [  30: Harri Valpola          ] Re: Tulokset
3972        [   4: -> Jarmo Hurri         ] 
3953  A [  82: Johannes Schmidt       ] Re: CNS - project work available
3964        <  76: Johannes Schmidt       > 
3963    [  17: Harri Valpola          ] Re: Cortical maps

so now the ordering is correct

Reiner> Try to reproduce it with a minimal configuration.

I will do this at some point. It might be some weird configuration
somewhere (I have inherited a few XEmacs settings...), but if this is
the case then something might be at least missing from the manual.

BTW, how do you get the following neat elisp evaluation buffer
started:

Reiner> | ELISP> gnus-summary-line-format
