- From mine too, when looking at your output. Anyway, the threads are
not sorted this way on my Gnus. I do not think it would be a bug, but
I use the same lines as you.

Could you copy/paste the lisp code you put in your .gnus file to sort
threads this way? I put it in my .gnus file, you too?

I answered above, and hope it is clear. Do not hesitate to tell me if
it is still unclear to you.
