And you will find, or at least I do, that the old articles inserted are not necessarily the most recent. It depends on what groups make up the virtual group. I know there was a discussion about this behaviour some months ago now on the gnus list. To get what the OP wanted, gnus would need to request a suitable number from each group in the virtual group, collate them, sort them, and then return the N desired. It doesn't do that, AFAICT. -- Eric S Fraga via gnus (Emacs 29.0.50 2022-11-01) on Debian 11.4
