As I understand it SO are trialling sequence-sorting on the legacy machines, rather than new CSS.

It's the Dorset Mail Centre (BH & DT postcode areas) that is trialing it (on LSMs), just one post code area being done at the moment. There is a complete list of offices taking part in the trial in another thread.
