No, not all. The directory `gnus-*-directory' variables have to be set
*before* gnus loads, so these should stay in your ~/.emacs (either in
the customize section or as setqs). But the others can move to your
~/.gnus.el.
BTW, the docs say that you should always have
`gnus-article-sort-by-number' in your `gnus-article-sort-functions' as a
fallback (first entry). So you probably want to go with:
(setq gnus-article-sort-functions
'((not gnus-article-sort-by-number)
(not gnus-article-sort-by-date)))
as I've written in my other mail.

Did you try hitting `M-g' on the group?
Bye,
