I'm running the same version of Msged, but using Xlaxnode.  I have
suspected for a long time that there is some variation among programs in
the way a Version 7 nodelist is handled, but precisely what I don't know.

If I use Bonk to access the nodelist in sysop order, 1:270/104 comes before
1:270/103.  I wouldn't be surprised if you saw something different, which
would suggest that QNode and Xlax sort a little differently.
