You could always process the reader queue in reverse order, in which case you would end up with the queue in the same order as it was originally. The only disadvantage to this would be that UNREAD NOTEBOOK would be built in reverse chronologigal order from that in which the files arrived. However, as the menu is subsequently sorted in proper sequence, the order of items in UNREAD NOTEBOOK should be of minor significance. - Lawrence
