[Dx4win] Possible new submission function?

Hello DX4WIN users,

I haven't seen anything on this topic so here goes.

As I am not a power user of DX4WIN, I might be missing something but I would possibly like to see a new report -> submission functionality. 
Let me see if I can expalin.

After uploading qso's to LOTW and downloading a report, I get a number of DXCC LOTW confirmations for band, mode, or perhaps mixed for a new one!
Next I do a DXCC submission in DX4WIN and it marks all of the QSO's I have confirmed with the "S"... great.
Now I go to LOTW and make an application to apply the credits to my account towards DXCC or Challenge.
After my application for DXCC credits is processed is where my little gripe begins.
For example, VU4PB was a new one for me back in March of 2011.  I worked VU4PB 5 times on two bands (20 and 17).
My first QSO was on 3-19 on 17m CW.  This QSO is what LOTW credits my DXCC account as new mixed-band-mode.
BUT DX4WIN chose my LAST QSO with VU4PB to mark as SUBMITTED for mixed-band-mode which was on 3-30-2011 20m CW.  This isn't a BIG deal but I only do an application once a year or so with ARRL so my number of new credits to apply can be well over 150.  Making LOTW credits match DX4WIN can be rather tedious with this many qso's to reconcille.

For some reason it seems DX4WIN starts at the most recent qso's that are confirmed and works backwards in time/date as it marks qso's with "S".  LOTW starts at the oldest qso and works forwards in time/date.

I have no problem at all with this for submissions with CARDS but it's kind of a pain in the neck with LOTW confirmed qso's.

Anyone else notice this or have an easy work around?

If not, I would like to see if Paul can look into trying to see if DX4WIN can mark qso's starting with the oldest and working forward in date/time.

Thanks,
Brad - N8SNM
