If you simply browse all these posts, they are sorted by date, fine.
But if you enter a search subject, when the relevant posts are displayed
they are completely jumbled up, seemingly in no sequence at all.
Is this something I can/should configure, or is it just the way it is
(throughout these Discussion Groups) ?

When you use that to search you get up to 100 occurrences of your search
string in no order, even if your search string occurs 1,000s of times in the
database. If you don't find what you're looking for in the threads marked as
answers, you might not find it. There's an URL to search only through
threads marked as answers but I don't have it. Even that one retrieves up to
100 occurrences of your search string in no order. It's like searching for a
needle in a haystack but you're only given a few armfuls of hay and the rest
is always out of reach.

Better to google the groups where you can search by date or relevance.
Google search has "lost" tens of 1,000s of posts but there're so many you'll
usually find what you need.

No.
