I thought the "new replies" used to sort themselves to the top of the list of topics/discussions . Is this no longer the case?
Is this *my* option or your option? Have I changed something without knowing it? Have you changed something without telling me?
I'm pretty sure the robo-moderation process hasn't changed. How Usenet messages are threaded (optional) and sorted is solely a function of your newsreader, AFAIK. I checked how Google Groups is displaying, as well as my own newsreader (Thunderbird), and both show no changes recently--I still have the threads with the newest messages showing at the top, which is my personal preference.
If you view the detailed headers of various messages, there are not any fields that I could find which had anything to do directly with threading or sorting -- just subject and date.

Like Mark said. It is a function of your newsreader, and nothing has changed recently.
