How can I set 'sort' on thread with 'descending order' in thunderbird?

[AUSTINHAN]

Hi~

First of all, I really appreciate all thunderbird app development team.

I love using the thuderbird email client across all aspects of work and personal life.

By the way, I haven't solved this issue so far. And, it makes me very inconvenient.

It is about 'sort by'(Honestly I don't know its exact menu name in English because I am an user for Korean version) under 'View' menu.

When I set 'sort by' with 'descending order', All email is sorted well. (It works well)

But, Problem is 'Thread' under each email topic. Because I enabled 'Using Thread', Many emails are accumulated as 'Thread'.

Then, when I expanded this collapsed threads, it is expanded and shows lists. And, this thread lists is shown as 'Ascending order'.

Even though I already tried many times to figure out solution by finding the certain menu, I assume there are no such option for controlling this sort order.

Could you advise how can I change this 'Thread' sort order to 'Descending order'?

Thank you in advance.

That thread is 12 years old! And there still isn't a way to sort threads in descending order. Very, very annoying. If you have more than a few emails in a thread, you have to go hunt for the newest one, which is ALMOST ALWAYS the one you want to see.
