I think that it would be better if the various threads in the article
selection menu were presented in chronological order instead of
alphabetical.  "psuedo followups" are common occurrences, but once you
alphabetize the menu the implicit ordering gets all messed up.

It is very hard to do this 'right', but some kind of simple chronological
ordering would come a lot closer than alphabetical order does...
