I've looked back at a request to make Pan sort articles similar to OE/
Windows Mail i.e. watched contributions at the top then the rest in date
order as when you sort by date.

Normal Pan behaviour is to display threads in date order of the thread
start.
This is what I would expect from a newsreader.

If I score a thread by watching it, then sort by score, the watched
threads go to the top but the rest of the posts appear unthreaded and they
appear to be displayed by date of posting.

Anyone know how I can maintain the standard threaded layout but get the
watched threads to appear at the top?

I assume I also have to set up a scoring rule to get threads I have
started to be automatically watched.

Cheers

Try asking in this active Pan newsgroup:

gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user

For gmane, ther is a registration procedure)

WTF is *that*? It ain't a newsgroup ...

GMANE run mailing list - usenet gateways, also mail archives

Thats strange, my newsreader there is!

It may be a Mailing-List that is presented in newsgroup form.

It's up to you if you want to try. I can almost guarantee you will find
a solution there to your problem...

O.K. - finally got all signed up for that.

Very small group of enthusiasts which gives a picture of where Pan is at the
moment.
Nice that there is still an active developer involved.

Finally (with much help) worked out how to do this.

(1) Click on Date column until oldest thread is shown at top of header
pane.

(2) Click on Score column - highest score then at bottom of header pane.

(3) Click on Score column again and highest score is at the top of the
header pane, and everything is sorted in 'latest thread first' order.

You have to get the Date column into the correct sort key order before
selecting the Score column as your sort key.

Pan remembers the last column you sorted on and takes the sort order as
your secondary sort key.

I still don't know why you have to do it in what seems to me to be an arse
about face way of doing things but at least I have a solution.
