B news should use the order of newsgroups in the .newsrc to
determine the order articles are shown.  I would have done
it already except I am so busy and its sooo easy to become
su and change the active file.

Another feature that should be put in readnews is a way to
have several "labeled" options lines in the .newsrc. That
way I can type "readnews" to get the important newsgroups,
"readnews -o work" to get the newsgroups that are related
to my work, and then (when I am not busy), "readnews -o trash"
to get everything else that might be interesting.

Don't bother to flame about how I could do this with command
files, the alias mechanism in csh, or whatever your favorite
hack is - I know all about them.  The reason for adding this
to readnews is to keep all the lists together in .newsrc rather
than scattering them around my area.
