sorting weeded messages

I'm looking into sorting the weeded messages by host first, rather than 
by time first.  Has anyone done this?  Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you,
Jeremy

I assume you mean the unparsed messages, not the weeded messages (which by
definition aren't reported at all), right?

The unparsed messages are actually not being sorted at all at present, as
you'll notice if you ever have a host or a process logging with the
incorrect time or timezone.  They're just being presented in the order
they're in the log file.  So any sorting you want to implement will be
entirely new code.

cheers,
- Paul
