Re: Re-ordering Message base by age

Hello all,
I'm sure I've done it in the past, but is there a reasonably straightforward way to reorder the msgs in a msgbase by age? I have one area where the message ordering is all kinds of out of whack.
The message are stored in the message bases (data/subs/*.shd) in the order in which they were received/imported. If a user wants to *view* the messages in a different sort-order (e.g. by date/time written), that can be achieved by using a fancy message readers like Nightfox's mode or even

That doesn't change the way the messages are stored in the message base, just the order in which they are displayed to a particular user.
