Are you using threading?  info://gnus/Sorting+the+Summary+Buffer
mentions that, if you're not, you need to use
gnus-article-sort-functions and gnus-article-sort-by-date, etc.,
instead.  Also note the comment that you probably want
gnus-{article,thread}-sort-by-number at the front of the list to get a
consistent sort in case two articles have the same date.
