<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 egroupsor is there a way to tell it to give me the
messages with the oldest one first?</FONT></DIV>

<P><BR>There is some merit in using Book I, Book II etc, in that we can then
be<BR>consistent when referring to predictions for Books V, VI and VII, for

A<BR>third option would be to use different abbreviations like,
'Stone',<BR>'Chamber', 'Prisoner', 'Goblet'.<BR></P></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>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.</P>
