One penny has just dropped. If the score is negative (-100) or positive (9999) if you sort on score the scored article always aligns with the oldest posts and articles. So if you have the 9999 at the top of the header pane you get the oldest threads next (which tend to look unthreaded because most posts have timed out). So what I think I need is for sorting by score to have the positive scores first (date within score, newest first), then the null scores in recent date order, then the negative scores (again newest first). I'm struggling with the logic of aligning both positive and negative scores with the oldest threads.
