Original Redmine bug id: 4756
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4756
Searchable id: yorba-bug-4756
Original author: Adam Dingle
Original description:

Currently Geary sorts the conversation list from newest to oldest. Sometimes I
find this counter-intuitive since messages in each conversation are sorted
from oldest to newest. It would be nice to have a view option that lets the
user choose a sort order here.

Got this about half-implemented before switching to another project. The
problem is that Gtk's ScrolledWindow and/or Adjustment widgets don't have a
straightforward way of making a scrollbar "stick" to the bottom of the pane
when new things are added, which we'd need for the oldest-to-newest view
option.

I'm attaching a diff which adds the pref option, re-orders the message list on
the fly, and loads more messages when you hit the top of the scrolled window.
