Thanks to all for the input. I should have provided more context so here goes
in pseudo code.
- create a datagrid and its template by script
- issue a group command naming the datagrid

Sorry, but I missed that meeting: under what circumstances does the
local var "it" not contain the long id of the newly-created group object
d be able to find the last group by name. Also, trapping the
"newGroup" message with an appropriate script can be used to find the last
group.

"Last" may report a group with lower ID, since the last-created group may be
inside another group that existed before it (and therefore likely has a lower ID
than it), but not a lower number. That's what "last" refs to - its 'number' or
layer. At least that's what I would expect.
