Newps, you might want to check your news browser. All the replys show

You shouldn't depend on everyone having the same view of the ordering of
postings that you have. Each news *server* is independent and may receive
postings in different order. This fact has nothing to do with the choice of news
*client* software.

Yes it does. News postings are threaded. Each posting retains a headers
which identifies it's thread and parent posting. Most news reader clients
look at these headers and provide the user the option of organizing the
posts accordingly.

I've only used 4 or 5 different news reader clients over the years, but
they've all provided this feature. I wouldn't consider using one that
didn't, but that's perhaps just personal preference.


Please include a little context (as I have above, for example) so we can see
what you are replying to.

Thanks.

Dave
