One thing I would like to see in the ANU-NEWS program would be to allow
for a custom ordering of newsgroups.  That is to say, I'd like to have the
local groups listed first, then all the national USENET groups by alphabetical
order AFTER the local groups.  If a user wanted to edit his NEWSRC. file to
make yet another custom ordering, that would be nice to.  Does ANU-NEWS
(We're running v5.8A) support this now?  ( I didn't see any kind of reference
to it in the manuals, and I tried to edit my NEWSRC. file, but it seemed to
get re-sorted for me automatically.)

It would also be good to allow for this to be the default order for new
users who don't yet have a NEWSRC. file.
