Can not merge topics in a chosen order

I can not merge topics so they are merged in the order I choose.

When I try, it keeps putting the two merged topics in only one order.

Here is an example topic. http://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,3053.msg40897.html#msg40897

I am trying to merge this topic http://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,3053.msg40897.html#msg40897 to follow this one http://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,3058.0.html but will not work.

Looked into doesn't seem to have been done before I looked at the core software of SMF as well and any addons.

Not understanding your reply.

I don't know what you mean by "doesn't seem to have been done before". 

Shouldn't we be able to merge two topics in what ever sequence we choose ?

It would be a great feature. But currently the entire forum system is based on the msgid order for the display there is not a way to force set an order.

I gotta ask..

What determines the msgid order when merging topics ?  Seems odd that no matter which way I merge, merging either one to either one, either way, still results in the msgid merging them in one way.

I could swear use to be able to set the order when merging topics.. Almost positive that was able to do it on this Chinese snuff bottle forum, and or the lapidary forum.
