I think the default is to sort by article number.  AFAIK, that
corresponds to the order in which articles arrived at your newsserver
but not to the order in which people wrote and sent their postings
(although the order should at least be pretty similar).  Oh, and I think
by default articles are sorted from old to new, not the other way round.

So probably you'll be happy with

  (setq gnus-article-sort-functions
        '((not gnus-article-sort-by-number)
          (not gnus-article-sort-by-date)))
