And you will find, or at least I do, that the old articles inserted are
not necessarily the most recent.  It depends on what groups make up the
virtual group.  I know there was a discussion about this behaviour some
months ago now on the gnus list.

To get what the OP wanted, gnus would need to request a suitable number
from each group in the virtual group, collate them, sort them, and then
return the N desired.  It doesn't do that, AFAICT.
