No, because the network doesn't generally deliver files in chronological
order. Keeping track of what job was held at what time and then using
this information to put the queue back in the same order is a non
negligible amount of work, what with modern CP's where spoolid's keep
changing. Most non-prime-time jobs are inter-LISTSERV management jobs,
like netwide deletes and GLOBLIST FILE updates and so on. It makes
absolutely no difference if they are executed in the "wrong" order.
