I don't think we have good/elegant way to do it. I see two options:

1. Implement custom sorting in nnimap.el back end.

This would require substantial work because we'd have to modify all the
definitions where we perform FETCH & SEARCH (AFAIK these two commands
are the only affected).

2. Modify the functions in gnus-range.el to accept unsorted lists

I don't know the internals good enough to tell if this would be
enough. There might be other parts in Gnus which also expect sorted
headers/messages/lists/etc that I'm not aware of.
