It *is* in the o(ptions) "menu" (form type) as well.  Having it available
on the affected V-page seems to be just a convenience, but unfortunately
if you use it there, it kicks you back up to the PREV_DOC when you "acti-
vate" the format change, instead of re-rendering the V-page "in situ", as
most folks would (likely) expect.

I dunno if it's on the (old) key-style o(ptions) "menu", or not (though I
rather doubt it).

The current formats are:

  (1)__Sort By First Visited
  (2)__Reverse Sort By First Visited
  (3)__View As Visit Tree
  (4)__Sort By Last Visited
  (5)__Reverse Sort By Last Visited

I'm not quite sure if any of those give the old format *exactly*, or not.

FWIW, I *would* like to see the addition of the "reverse tree" format, to
the supported styles.
