The problem is the "MC Minimize to Tray option" timestamp. It seems to pick up the last post in that thread, instead of the last post in that thread by _me_, making it out of chronological sequence.

Er, I think it picks up the threads you posted to, then groups them, and sorts them into the date-last-posted to order. If it kept the dates of the individual posts I think you would find a given thread might appear many times.
