Huh, interesting -- I hadn't realized subthreads were sorted as well,
but they are: gnus-sort-threads calls the appropriately-named
gnus-sort-threads-recursive.
That's hard-coded, and there's nothing to distinguish a top-level thread
from a subthread. But I'll bet with a little care, it would be possible
to make a gnus-sort-threads-recursively-p option, which would have
gnus-sort-threads break to gnus-sort-articles after the first round of
sorting... Maybe.
