 2.12 Sorting Groups
 ===================
 
 The ‘C-c C-s’ (‘gnus-group-sort-groups’) command sorts the group buffer
 according to the function(s) given by the ‘gnus-group-sort-function’
 variable.  Available sorting functions include:
 
 ‘gnus-group-sort-by-alphabet’
      Sort the group names alphabetically.  This is the default.
 
 ‘gnus-group-sort-by-real-name’
      Sort the group alphabetically on the real (unprefixed) group names.
 
 ‘gnus-group-sort-by-level’
      Sort by group level.
 
 ‘gnus-group-sort-by-score’
      Sort by group score.  Group Score.
 
 ‘gnus-group-sort-by-rank’
      Sort by group score and then the group level.  The level and the
      score are, when taken together, the group’s “rank”.  Group
      Score.
 
 ‘gnus-group-sort-by-unread’
      Sort by number of unread articles.
 
 ‘gnus-group-sort-by-method’
      Sort alphabetically on the select method.
 
 ‘gnus-group-sort-by-server’
      Sort alphabetically on the Gnus server name.
 
    ‘gnus-group-sort-function’ can also be a list of sorting functions.
 In that case, the most significant sort key function must be the last
 one.
 
    There are also a number of commands for sorting directly according to
 some sorting criteria:
 
 ‘G S a’
      Sort the group buffer alphabetically by group name
      (‘gnus-group-sort-groups-by-alphabet’).
 
 ‘G S u’
      Sort the group buffer by the number of unread articles
      (‘gnus-group-sort-groups-by-unread’).
 
 ‘G S l’
      Sort the group buffer by group level
      (‘gnus-group-sort-groups-by-level’).
 
 ‘G S v’
      Sort the group buffer by group score
      (‘gnus-group-sort-groups-by-score’).  Group Score.
 
 ‘G S r’
      Sort the group buffer by group rank
      (‘gnus-group-sort-groups-by-rank’).  Group Score.
 
 ‘G S m’
      Sort the group buffer alphabetically by back end name
      (‘gnus-group-sort-groups-by-method’).
 
 ‘G S n’
      Sort the group buffer alphabetically by real (unprefixed) group
      name (‘gnus-group-sort-groups-by-real-name’).
 
    All the commands below obey the process/prefix convention (
 Process/Prefix).
 
    When given a symbolic prefix (Symbolic Prefixes), all these
 commands will sort in reverse order.
 
    You can also sort a subset of the groups:
 
 ‘G P a’
      Sort the groups alphabetically by group name
      (‘gnus-group-sort-selected-groups-by-alphabet’).
 
 ‘G P u’
      Sort the groups by the number of unread articles
      (‘gnus-group-sort-selected-groups-by-unread’).
 
 ‘G P l’
      Sort the groups by group level
      (‘gnus-group-sort-selected-groups-by-level’).
 
 ‘G P v’
      Sort the groups by group score
      (‘gnus-group-sort-selected-groups-by-score’).  Group Score.
 
 ‘G P r’
      Sort the groups by group rank
      (‘gnus-group-sort-selected-groups-by-rank’).  Group Score.
 
 ‘G P m’
      Sort the groups alphabetically by back end name
      (‘gnus-group-sort-selected-groups-by-method’).
 
 ‘G P n’
      Sort the groups alphabetically by real (unprefixed) group name
      (‘gnus-group-sort-selected-groups-by-real-name’).
 
 ‘G P s’
      Sort the groups according to ‘gnus-group-sort-function’.
 
    And finally, note that you can use ‘C-k’ and ‘C-y’ to manually move
 groups around.
