This (according to what you told me last month or so) would be the simplest solution. It isnt without flaws however, as while making the sorting sane, it doesnt fix the broken numbering of the messages -- a message from a year ago can be number #1, while a message from an hour ago may well be number #739. Something wants fixing, still. But anyway, if Holger wants to give it a spin, here it is. It Works For Me (tm).
