You need to look at the manual examples for sorting to see how those
functions are supposed to be used.  The summary buffer is where you see
articles, and what you describe above is your group buffer (and you can
sort groups too, by the way, also see the manual).  When you hit RET on
a group, you enter its summary buffer.
