Okay, but this doesn't actually work as advertised… I've got:
gnus-thread-sort-functions -> ((not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date))
And here's a chunk of my misc summary buffer, with bits cut out of the
from and subject fields to make it tidier:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

So clearly it's not ordering by the latest message in a thread. The top
two threads should be way down at the bottom of the summary buffer…
