Yeah, but my code stopped sorting of subthreads at all. So I basically
assumed that the threads were sorted according to article number before
they were passed to the thread sorting functions. That's probably a
false assumption.
Anyway, my last changes made the name `gnus-sort-threads-recursively'
inappropriate. And also it was only a minor step away from custom
subthread sorting. So now I've implemented that:

| Make subthread sorting customizable and add docs for it.
|
| * gnus-sum.el (gnus-subthread-sort-functions): New defcustom.
| (gnus-sort-threads-recursively): Delete defcustom.
| (gnus-sort-threads-recursive): Adapt accordingly.
|
| * gnus.texi (Sorting the Summary Buffer): Document new defcustom
| `gnus-subthread-sort-functions' and remove the obsolete documentation
| of `gnus-sort-threads-recursively'.
|
`----
So `gnus-sort-threads-recursively' is gone now, and
`gnus-subthread-sort-functions' takes its place. By default its value
is 'gnus-thread-sort-functions which means to sort subthreads also using
`gnus-thread-sort-functions', but you can set it to any list of sort
functions you want.
So now I use this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-number
gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date
gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score)
gnus-subthread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-number
gnus-thread-sort-by-date)
gnus-sort-gathered-threads-function 'gnus-thread-sort-by-date)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So threads are sorted from highest score/most recent article to lowest
score/least recent article, but inside threads I simply sort from old to
new.
Bye,
