Today's tweak of inverting the inbox seems to indicate they are running out of sensible things to do:-(
Who wants new messages at the bottom of the screen when all the controls are at the top?
Or is it just me?
Just click on the 'date' bar
I like messages in date order with newest at the bottom. It's like answering posts here *under* the message you're replying to. If you keep your inbox reasonably empty then it's all visible on the screen.
Plus my E-Mail program takes me to the new messages anyway so it will take me to the bottom of the inbox if there's more than a screenful.
It is - I always have email in chronological data order. Newsgroups in chronological thread order. :-)
(these are not new settings - TB has always offered full control over the sort orders)
Oh yes! I had already looked through all the settings offered!

All I have to worry about now is staying well away from those stupid stars!
You can get rid of the "stars" column, and any others, by clicking on the extreme RHS icon ("select columns to display") and removing the tick from any you don't want.
You can remove those as well
I suspect you've clicked on one ofthe column headers above the list of mess\ges and altered your sort order ...
Ok Jeff. I'll have a go. I read Paul's explanatory epistles with a degree of fright!

Indeed. User error now sorted.

There is alt.comp.software.thunderbird for this sort of query.
Worth noting that the View->Sort By menu has an "order received" option that is not usually shown as a standard column - but is handy for newsgroups so that the threads stay in place when they get new posts.
Of course if you use short cut keys, you don't need tithe controls. Brian
