The subscriptions for any list are maintained by LISTSERV.  Subscribers
are added to the list as the requested subscriptions are honored.
LISTSERV makes no attempt to order these requests other than first come,
first served.  To sort the list would require that LISTSERV be suspended
while the subscription lists are sorted, and when LISTSERV is resumed,
the subscription lists will be out of order as soon as the next
subscription request is serviced.  It might be possible to modify
LISTSERV to re-sort subscription lists whenever new subscribers are
added, but that is a request for the LISTSERV writers and not BEE-Liners.
 
Another problem inherent with the request to sort the subscription list
is how should the list be sorted?  By subscribers last name?  By site?
It's not clear.
 
If a user wants an ordered subscription list, request the subscription
list (TELL LISTSERV AT site REVIEW list).  LISTSERV will return to the
user the subscription list ordered by first subscription to last
subscription.  The user receiving the list can then sort the list in any
manner they choose.
 
Finally, what does an ordered subscription list have to do with the
discussion of Bee Biology in the first place?
