I thought that's how it worked, but I have 4 servers running all the 
same versions of ircd-hybrid(7.0.3). Using the same client (xchat) I can 
connect to each server and get the channel I would like on top on only 
two of the servers. The other two servers show the same but different 
channel on top.
BTW,  The channel I want on top is /cycled every five minutes to 
recreate it.
