I used VM's G(vm-group-messages) command to group messages by Subject.
I was imppressed by the vm's ability to ignores "Re:" and blanks in
grouping. But I was puzzled by the order of messages in the group.
Following is a part of subject lines. Here, Dec 17 message (377)
comes after the Dec 21 and Dec 27 messages. Perhapas, there is some bug in
sorting the dates?

It *groups* messsage based on certain criteria, but messages always remain in arrival order within their respective groupings.
