Hi fellow trn-ites,
When I read articles in a long thread (e.g. one with hundreds of
posts) the order in which I read the articles is not what I'd
consider very useful (I use "^N" to go to the supposed next
article in the thread). For example, if I can see the following
in the mini-thread display :
\-[4]--[4]--[4]
+-[4]--[4]--[4]--[4]
\-[4]--[4]--[4]--[*]--[4]--[4]-
--[4]--[4]--[4]
For a start, the article marked "*" is the first one in the group of
articles there that I'm reading. The next article will almost certainly
*not* be the article immediately to the right of the *-ed one,
but probably some other random location in the thread.
I'd much rather read them in something like the following order
(1 = first read)
\-[1]--[2]--[3]
+-[4]--[5]--[6]--[7]
\-[8]--[9]--[A]--[B]--[C]--[D]-
--[E]--[F]--[G]
Or even something like this :
\-[A]--[B]--[C]
+-[D]--[E]--[F]--[G]
\-[1]--[2]--[3]--[4]--[5]--[6]-
--[7]--[8]--[9]
I realise sorting the threads in some way would be hard, but
surely even a partial sorting would let me read articles
mostly in order.
Any ideas ? Am I missing some configuration or threading
option somewhere ?
Thanks,
David.
