The web interface keeps track of messages an auto-incremented index. Due to
the crash when restoring some information those auto-counts can change in
certain ways. For speed the web interface uses only that number (rather than
the actual post id from the server) to sort messages*.

* Before somebody asks: No, the date and time of a post won't work for
sorting because they come from the posters' newsreaders and are hardly ever
accurate (way too many people with wrong clock or timezone settings).
