The same technique works with Mac as well you go to:

Documents > Mozilla folder > Profile folder (your name) > folder with
random letters and numbers plus .slt> News Folder.

Locate NewsFat file. open with BBedite lite. cut and paste line
according to the way you want the news servers to be listed.

Go to same file as above and open each file that starts news.servername
(the name of the ISP or news server).com (org, biz , etc) and use
BBEdite Lite to cut and paste to organize.

Do NOT leave any blank spaces as in example below:

1

2
3
4


Or else the file will not work

When saving just do a Save not a Save As. Save - saves the file in
native format. Save as you have to choose desired format BBEdit Lite
being preferred.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!
