What I do is filter by articles with unread, and then sort the threads by
date - you can't sort by two criteria in the headers, but you can filter
on one and sort on the other.

My default filters are set to:

 * Show Matching Articles' Threads
 * Match New/Unread
 * Match Scores > -9999 (ie, all but ignored)

gmane.org hosts a mail-to-news gateway of this and the pan-devel mailing
lists.  In fact, I'm posting this via that interface.
