Yes, when you wrote it was still in process.  I had thought we did it
when we initially established the group, and was surprised to find we
couldn't search older messages through Gmane, so I asked our OSL
sysadmins and Lars Magne Ingebritsen of Gmane to get together and fix
it.

Yes, until the next reindexing.  They'll be in the correct order on
the news server once the import has finished, though.  (It'll be done
in a few hours...)

They seem to be fine now, though you'll find you have thousands of
unread messages ;-)
