Always room for improvement, I say. Any chance of Bat! improving to
the Agent standard by including subject as well. To me the sort is
the major bug bear of Bat!, maybe not so to others, although I have
read from time to time on the Agent ng other people complaining about
this "feature" in Bat!

Developers, where are you? Can a better sort be implemented? Pleeeze?
