"Michael Santovec" :
I don't think you can do what you want.

As I expected. But....

If you've hidden Read messages, that will sort by
the first unread message of the thread.

I would like to experiment with this. But I don't understand the English.
Is "hidden" a verb or adjective in that sentence?

In either case, what steps must I take to step up that state?

If you group messages by conversations, then sorting by date will sort by
the first DISPLAYED message in the thread. If you've hidden Read
messages, that will sort by the first unread message of the thread. But
I'm guessing you want the whole thread displayed (read and unread) so that
won't help much.

Normally, it appears that OE6 sorts newsgroup postings by the
date of the first message of a thread ("conversation").

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.
