me rather than flames :-))

hi!
While using the twocolumn mode in articles, I came across the following
problem: i was using both 1-column (figure*) and 2-column(figure)
environments.  The latex manual claims that figures are never placed
out of order.  However, I noticed that it placed my figures 1 and 2
(both 2-column) on a floatpage *after* the page on which figure 3
(1-column) appeared.  Anyone else seen this?  (if not, I could try
creating a small example)

Any help will be appreciated. Please e-mail replies.
Thanks
