This sorts threads the way I want --- decreasing order of dates, latest to earliest. However, it seems to sort messages within a thread also in decreasing order of date, as in this example from the gmane.emacs.help group: 01 2013-07-07 02:48 Chris Seberino > Trouble binding Alt ... 02 2013-07-07 10:38 Chris Seberino |-> 03 2013-07-07 18:21 Pascal J.

Bourguigno \-> This is the way it is on the Gmane page of the thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/91990 (with the time zone 3.5 hours behind the time zone above). Is there a way to get this Gmane-like order (main threads decreasing, all subthreads increasing) in Gnus? Thanks and best regards, Raghavendra. PS: I posted this to the gmane.emacs.gnus.user mailing list several days ago, with no response. I am posting this here in case some one here has suggestions. -- N.
