Currently, when sorting messages in thread view by date, they are sorted by the date of the first message. This is not very useful if I started a conversation 3 months ago, received a couple of mails in the meantime and now have to scroll down in order to read an answer to this "old" conversation. There should be at least the option to sort threads by the most recent message, which will present me the new mail on top of the message view including all relate messages without the hassle of scrolling down. kind regards
