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 :-)
