I agree completely. That's why I patched nn to not only group the common
subjects together, but to also arrange the subjects in date order of their
first article. This sorting works quite well, and I sent Kim the patch to
implement it last October or so.
Kim -- is my sort algorithm available in nn v6.4 [a.k.a. 6.3.12]?
