With "[x]   Show newest messages on top of list" ..you can be fairly  
confident that the first message by Gert Andersen was the last one (most  
recent by date) he wrote.

So, even if you had something like this:

 3361 16.06 15:05 Gert Andersen       All              Join VirNet
 5388 16.06 12:15 Gert Andersen       All              Join ZyXEL-Net
 2188 16.06 12:14 Gert Andersen       All              ZyXEL-Net
 3896 16.06 09:11 Gert Andersen       All              Join 1 JustaXnet
 4058 16.06 09:09 Gert Andersen       All              Join JustaXnet

The original list (by virtue of sort order) would be the same as the very  
first one at the beginning of this message.

Is the :SS included in the PKT?  (I don't know). Maybe there isn't enough  
data to sort by the second either.  So, OXP sorts by HH:MM as best it can?
