1.  Locate your profile directory.

2.  In in the profile directory, open the folder named News.

3.  For each news server (not newsgroup) account, you will see two
files, named according to the account or the news server.  One has the
extension .rc; the other has .msf.  In a text editor, open the .rc file
for the account where you want to rearrange the newsgroups.

4.  Set the viewing options NOT to wrap long lines.

5.  Using cut and paste, move each line -- representing a newsgroup --
into the order you want.

6.  Save and close the file.

There might already be a bug report requesting a more user-friendly way
to do this.  Don't hold your breath waiting for it to be implemented.
