It is a good idea, and one which I considered. But since the listing
is simply a directory listing, sorting is not an option with the current
web server. Sorry.
Eventually I hope to get the new archives updated "live" so this will
provide a much easier way to read messages via the web.
Unfortuneately, the current setup requires far too much CPU time
to update each message as it arrives, so I cannot do live archiving
until I re-think the archiving method.
For an idea of the type of archive I'm working toward, see:

Unfortuneately, the above list uses commercial software, and much
more time/resources than I currently can spare...
Thanks for the idea, and I certainly welcome any other thoughts on
how to improve our little community :-)
