My apologies if I didn't understand your requirements correctly, but I
think you're looking for `gnus-subthread-sort-functions'.  Try

(setq (gnus-thread-sort-functions
       '(gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-number))
      (gnus-subthread-sort-functions
       '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date)))

Best, Arash
