PRIVATE MESSAGES
**************************
why can't they be sorted in order of date??????
the problem is that ALL private messages - the ones from the OLD trad gang and the ones here on the NEW trad gang - are NOT stored by date, they're stored by an identifying number that's incrementally assigned as they are created.
SO, that means that the incremented number and the date the PM was created form a positive relationship where both the incremented PM number and the date of the PM will not be the same, but will always be in sync. and therein lies the problem - the PM's brought over from the old trad gang had numbers that the new system could not use, so the new system assigned INCREMENTING numbers to new PM's here in the new system.
CONFUSED? understandably so. suffice to say, if all PM's from the OLD system were removed, the NEW system PM's will sort by date, because their assigned PM numbers would increment in date order.
