I run with the included patch. In the group for which I care about
this, I set the following group parameter:
(gnus-thread-sort-functions
'md5i-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date-reverse)
where `md5i-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date-reverse' is defined thusly:
(defun md5i-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date-reverse (h1 h2)
(<= (gnus-thread-latest-date h1) (gnus-thread-latest-date h2)))
Patch follows:
