Posting notes are archived by month/year.  They're ordered by the date
in which they were sent by the WWers, which is more or less in numerical
order.  There are two exceptions: when etext numbers are reserved for
future use and when an old, pre10K, etext is reposted.  

When a pre10K etext is reposted, its repost note appears in the month in
which the reposting WWer sent the repost note.

Reservations occur when numbers are prerequested, usually by DP, for a
multi-volume set with cross-links.  Such reserved numbers may not
actually get used/posted for some time, i.e. they might be requested in
June, but not actually be submitted/posted until several months later,
depending on how long it takes to post-process the various volumes of
the set.  Posting notes for reserved numbers will appear in the month of
posting, not the month of request.

Yes.  Etext #84 is a typical example.
