  Dennis:

  In your release notes, you indicate:

  >6.0.127 BETA

  >The spot log now displays spots in reverse chronological order based =
on the time received, not the timestamp from the webcluster.

  Not sure this change is better, especially when using webcluster. When =
loading 25 at a time, the latest spot posted for a given station,  which =
may contain needed updated information about that posted spot, can =
sometimes be found in the center of the group instead of the top where =
it used to be. Before, the latest posts were at the top of the list. Now =
I have to take the time to look down at each of the spots and their =
corresponding timestamps to be sure that I have the latest information =
about a particular station, since his frequency may have changed, or he =
is listening on a different frequency. This takes more time and I have =
to scroll to the appropriate spot to assure that the rig will go to the =
correct frequency. I have missed some spots, or clicked on some higher =
in the list only to have the rig go to an incorrect frequency because he =
QSY's=20

  I guess I can see this in a radio packet cluster environment, but when =
retrieving up to 250 spots at a time, which can happen, or only 25, it =
makes it more difficult to land the correct DX contact.=20

  I hope you will consider changing this back, or making it a setup =
option...

  thanks
