I'm unsure about the meaning of "sorting functions". If this means
sorting different mails into different folders depending on their
headers, then Gnus can do that easily. If this means affecting the
order of displaying messages, that can be done, too, but it is fairly
slow.
Example for former meaning of mail sorting with Gnus:
;; slightly edited
(setq nnmail-split-methods
(list
(list "auto.bbdb" "x-Loop:.*info-bbdb@xemacs.org")
(list "auto.ctwm" "sender:.*owner-ctwm")
(list "auto.ding" "\\(to\\|cc\\):.*ding@ifi.uio.no")
(list "auto.ding" "\\(to\\|cc\\):.*ding@gnus.org")
(list "auto.debian"
"\\(to\\|cc\\|x-loop\\):.*debian-\\(user\\|changes\\)")
(list "auto.debian-doc"
"\\(to\\|cc\\|x-loop\\):.*debian-\\(doc\\|book-discussion\\)")
(list "auto.fvwm" "sender:.*owner-fvwm")
(list "mail.misc" "")))
This means, that mail with the specified X-Loop header goes in the
auto.bbdb folder, mails sent by owner-ctwm goes in auto.ctwm and so
on. All mail that doesn't match anything else goes in mail.misc.
I just use the simple mechanism, there is a "fancy" mechanism, too,
which can do all kinds of things. Such as putting some mail into
several groups.
