sort search output by date

[Nick Dokos]

When I do a gmane nnir search with G G, the resulting nnir group is in
some random(?) order.

An imap search returned an almost sorted buffer: a sorted bunch at the
beginning, a sorted bunch at the end, but a couple of messages between
the two that were out of order - that was a single example though: I
don't know how general this behavior is.

How do I get the nnir summary buffer sorted by date?

Thanks,

I didn't find a hook or option to do that, so in the end I added
gnus-summary-sort-by-date as an :after advice to
gnus-group-make-nnir-group.

I have something like this...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook
'gnus-summary-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(when (string-match "^gwene.*" gnus-newsgroup-name)
(make-local-variable 'gnus-show-threads)
(make-local-variable 'gnus-use-adaptive-scoring)
(make-local-variable 'gnus-use-scoring)
(make-local-variable 'gnus-score-find-score-files-function)
(setq gnus-show-threads nil
gnus-use-adaptive-scoring nil)
; gnus-use-scoring nil)
(gnus-summary-sort-by-date))))

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

maybe you can adapt it...
