I didn't mean to suggest alphabetizing the list as utilized by listserv. Some individuals on MLA-L would like an alphabetic sort by surname. But that doesn't have to be a result of the REView command. The problem has been that since the surnames of subscribers do not begin in the same column, it is difficult to sort alphabetically by surname (either with xedit or a word processor). I thought someone might have devised an easy way to do that already. Most cordially, A.
