Normally, it appears that OE6 sorts newsgroup postings by the

I would like OE6 to sort newsgroup threads based on the date
of the most-recent message to each thread.

Can that be done?

I know that I can set the "watch" flag and view "sort by watch".
That's not the same thing.

I don't know of any newsreader which sorts the article list by date of the
most recent followup. They all sort by the posting date of the original
article in the thread.

I understand that "watch" isn't the same as what you want, but it is all
that you have to approximate what you want: This is true for *any* news
reader that I know of.
