Yes, it is 'newsrc' in the .\YARN *subdirectory*, it is also
possible you have a diffrent 'newsrc' some place else. The
first one does the listing that you can modify with the
INS&DEL keys, while the second has to do with your news
server configureation.

Once you find the right one do this:

copy newsrc newsrc.kep
sort<newsrc.kep>newsrc

Then you will have a sorted list when you start up yarn.
After you see that it works you can delete newsrc.kep.

You'll also find you have a newsrc.old and a newsrc.bak,
deleteing these in the past for me has broken YARN, so I'd
leave them be.
