Hi Dave,
I've just been investigating that very matter only last weekend. One way to
get MHonArc to behave the way you want is to use the following command-line
options.
mhonarc -reverse -treverse {... other command-line arguments... }
The "reverse" option is for the Main index, the "treverse" option is for the
Thread index.
If you have an existing archive, you can rewrite the index and message files
with this command. Run it from the directory your archive is stored in.
mhonarc -editidx -reverse -treverse
The new settings will be stored in the database file for your archive, so
that messages added later will retain the desired ordering.
I hope you're not disappointed that I haven't included any lewd comments ;-)
Cheers,
Kevin.

Would like to know the easiest way to get the list to build itself from the
most recent to the least recent. Out of the "box" it appears to build the
HTML lists from the first one it grabs on down. Suggestions? Lewd comments?
