[Babase] Multi-party interaction times

Hi,

I know I've bought this up before, but...

We're not tracking the time any multi-party
interactions occurred.  There is no ordering
_at_ _all_ within any given date.

I know we don't have exact, or even inexact,
times, but do we want to have a column on
the MPIS table that records the ordering within
the day, so we can say that this multi-party
interaction occurred before that one, even if
we don't know exactly how long before?

The Mpiid cannot be used for this purpose.  It
is arbitrary.  (Or rather, it could possibly be mis-used
for this purpose, but please don't.  Let's
create another column (dayorder?, seq?) instead.)
