It's not what I desire: I don't want erroneous records in the factotum database and I fail to see why anyone else would. It solves a non-existent problem, as deleting the record has the same effect. > What is the problem? Ugliness?

If order is matter this make a problem. But factotum always did that, and it's precisely what I would do manually. As I mentioned, the sequence is not altered, nor should it really matter if it was altered. ++L
