Re: [Pan-users] The Sorting, it's so Slow!!!

[John Morris]

I had that problem for a while, and to cure it, I deleted my article
headers cache.   It will take longer to load the group the first
time because it has to
redownload all the old headers, but after that, the problem went away for
me.   I think it may be that there is some garbage in the cached headers
throwing things off in the sort.
