gnus-thread-sort-functions

[Sébastien Vauban]

Hello,

I would like to have a "chronological" (but threaded) view of the mails I
read, that is:

    o   threads sorted by date (with the most recent at the bottom of the
        screen);

    o   articles in threads sorted by date (and reference -- of course):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
                                ...43  3.3k     ● [STUMP] run-or-raise firefox

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Though, playing with `gnus-thread-sort-functions' seems to achieve one but the
opposite of the other: with my current setup ...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gnus-thread-sort-functions is a variable defined in `gnus-sum.el'.
Its value is
    (gnus-thread-sort-by-number
     gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

... the sorting inside a thread is correct, but thread roots are sorted in the
anti-chronological view.

Is there a way to set up both independently?

Best regards,
  Seb
