| Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | nw2010 | 8/23/10 3:21 PM | Explain your issue in full detail here: My email conversations are showing the oldest emails first(ascending order) instead of newest first. In the Help Topic Conversations, it states that the emails will be stacked on top of each other, like a deck |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | MsI53 | 8/26/10 3:35 PM | It's actually working correctly (and there is no setting to change it). When the conversation is collapsed, the newest message is the one you see, with the older ones behind it. When you open (expand) the conversation, the newest one will be at the |

| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | w014084 | 9/5/10 7:11 AM | Makes sense if you like to play solitaire :-) But for those who have used other email packages, like Outlook, it is bit confusing. Also with a long thread of emails, where you typically want to see to last couple of emails, it seems silly that you |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | nw2010 | 9/5/10 11:51 AM | Yes, that would be a nice feature. Thank you for the information. Does anyone know how we can post that to the Google development team as a "Wish List" |

| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | edmaxwelljr | 9/17/10 9:36 AM | The problem is that when you use a (Google) Smartphone, and read the email on the smartphone, it now syncs with gmail and shuffles the conversation to the bottom. Then when you go back to your computer and try to find the conversation--especially if |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | nw2010 | 9/17/10 7:25 PM | Thank you for the information. It will be beneficial when I do get a smartphone. I don't have a smart phone yet, so all my emailing is done on my PC. And the latest is still showing on the bottom. So, unfortunately, I am still having the issue. |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | ladybugrahman | 9/30/10 11:58 AM | Last week when the email messages were collapsed, the newest one was one top. Now.... when the email messages are collapsed, the oldest one is on top. I don't know when or why the change occured, but it doesn't work for me. so there must be a way |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | MsI53 | 9/30/10 2:25 PM | ladybugrahman, that's a glitch that's being addressed. You can keep an eye on the known issues page below for updates. There's no timetable given, but it *is* being worked on. I'm also providing a link to another thread that we've designated the catc |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | tm7170 | 11/26/10 6:37 PM | According to the thread sited this issue was fixed back on 10/7, but it is still displaying in reverse order for me (oldest snippet is first in conversation view) |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | MsI53 | 11/27/10 2:42 PM | Hmm. Not sure why that should be. Which browser are you using? |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | tm7170 | 11/27/10 5:15 PM | i'm using Firefox. another forum mentioned that it could be a glitch because my gmail is synching with my android phone? |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | MsI53 | 11/27/10 5:36 PM | Well, I don't know anything about Androids, but I suppose anything is possible! One more question. Do you have Multiple Inboxes enabled? I did see one complaint from someone who uses MI and said he's having this same issue in them. |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | mel1226 | 1/18/11 3:33 PM | I'm using Firefox on a Mac and syncing with an Android. Also having the problem of oldest message in conversation at top when I read in Firefox on my Mac. I'd prefer that the most recent be at the top. Has any solution been developed in the time s |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | MsI53 | 1/19/11 9:40 AM | I haven't seen anything else about this. You might ask over in Android. That several of you are using Android and experiencing the same thing leads me to think there's a real connection. That forum is at http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+M |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | toddp-10 | 2/16/11 8:22 AM | One of the most useless and incorrect answers i've seen from a so called "Top Contributor" ever. Its not right just because its forced. Its not right because you like it. No email app, since the very first email ever sent would put the old mail on to |
| Re: Conversations: How do I display most recent email first (descending order) | MsI53 | 2/16/11 10:34 AM | Toddp-10, you may not like it, but it is the correct answer. That is the way gmail is designed and works. You can suggest something different at this link: : http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=suggestions.cs&issue=116883&bucket=16937 |
