With the formatting you've chosen, you can't see any difference between
real threads and gathered threads. gnus-thread-sort-functions is about
how real threads are sorted. After sorting, if you have thread
gathering switched on, articles with the same subject (in the example
mail box "(no subject")) are displayed after one another, but that
doesn't affect the sorting.
So this isn't a bug, and this works as designed.
