I really like sorting by subject but if I don't finish reading the entire newsgroup, I FEEL like I'm really out of time sync. New messages come in and then when I read the group again, I sometimes see these messages before the older messages. What I would like to see is a grouping of the same subjects by arrival time. Here is a sample from comp.protocols.appletalk. Sort by message number: D 2176:+[ 13:barnett@crdgw] Re: NCSA Telnet 2177: [ 60:fxa@BOOMBOX.M] POP2/SMTP mail client for Mac now available 2178: [ 16:dale@wucs1.wu] TelNet doesn't like CAP 2179: [ 5:asher@UHURA.C] Re: POP2/SMTP mail client for Mac now available 2180: [ 1:PWF@VX.ACSS.U] test message, please ignore 2181: [ 23:Wolfgang_Naeg] Re: TelNet doesn't like CAP 2182: [ 4:louis@aerospa] CAP on the IRIS Sorted by subject looks like this: 2182: [ 4:louis@aerospa] CAP on the IRIS D 2176:+[ 13:barnett@crdgw] Re: NCSA Telnet 2177: [ 60:fxa@BOOMBOX.M] POP2/SMTP mail client for Mac now available 2179: [ 5:asher@UHURA.C] Re: POP2/SMTP mail client for Mac now available 2178: [ 16:dale@wucs1.wu] TelNet doesn't like CAP 2181: [ 23:Wolfgang_Naeg] Re: TelNet doesn't like CAP 2180: [ 1:PWF@VX.ACSS.U] test message, please ignore Grouped by arival time and subject: D 2176:+[ 13:barnett@crdgw] Re: NCSA Telnet 2177: [ 60:fxa@BOOMBOX.M] POP2/SMTP mail client for Mac now available 2179: [ 5:asher@UHURA.C] Re: POP2/SMTP mail client for Mac now available 2178: [ 16:dale@wucs1.wu] TelNet doesn't like CAP 2181: [ 23:Wolfgang_Naeg] Re: TelNet doesn't like CAP 2180: [ 1:PWF@VX.ACSS.U] test message, please ignore 2182: [ 4:louis@aerospa] CAP on the IRIS How can I do this?
