[HP4GU-FAQ] Egroups Search

[Margaret McNie]

I have been using the egroups search to get the appropriate messages for my FAQs. However, the search function returns these messages in the incorrect (to me) order with the most recent one first. It's like trying to read a book from the back to the front. Is this one of the 'special' features of egroups or is there a way to tell it to give me the messages with the oldest one first?

    There is some merit in using Book I, Book II etc, in that we can then be
    consistent when referring to predictions for Books V, VI and VII, for which
    we don't have titles. Otherwise, I would go with PS, CoS, PoA, GoF. A
    third option would be to use different abbreviations like, 'Stone',
    'Chamber', 'Prisoner', 'Goblet'.


  Stone, Chamber, Prisoner, Goblet translates well.  It also reads faster and sounds more precise.  I once had to think three times to translate PS into SS into Sorcerer's Stone.  I can't imagine now not knowing SS/PS are the same but deserted islands do exist.
