Yahoo again? Don't you mean, 'Yahoo, it's about time'. Personally, I
think it would be nice if you could sort by any column (number,
subject, username, or date). Think how nice it would be to sort by
user, and get every post by a single user grouped together. Although
to a limited extent, you can do that by searching for the person's name. 

While I was getting used to the 'Newest on Top', I wasn't liking it.
For my email, that exactly how I sort them, but there really is no
order to email. The Group however, is more like a conversation, and
when I return to the group, I don't want to start at the last
statement made, I want to pick-up where I left off, and proceed
forward from there, and 'Oldest at the Top' serves the purpose better
for me.

Anyway, I suspect that Yahoo received enough complaints about that
change, that they were forced to add the new Sort option. Good to know
they do listen. They are not exactly known for being real responsive
to user comments. 

Regarding these recent changes, pretty much everything everyone
complained about got fix. You have Simple, Summary, and Expanded
display formats. They brought back the  'Go To Message# [  ]' box. The
correct the [Previous] and [Next] button. And now they've updated the
Sort feature.

Now if they would fix the Search feature, we'd be doing pretty good.

Just goes to show, it pays to complain.
