GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 202505
Threading is "backwards" when sorted by date with the newest messages first
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:37:20 UTC
When viewing message "threads" with the newest messages at the top of the list, threads expand down. While this makes sense when the oldest message is at the top, things are "backwards" when the newest messages are at the top. I'd really like to see things expand "up" rather than "down", although I can certainly see some people being surprised by this. However, I don't see any other way of getting messages sorted in the right order, when using theaded view and having the newest messages displayed first. Could we get this implemented in some trial fasion, at least?
How can a tree expand 'up' ?????
Exactly the same way that it expands down, only in reverse. Instead of the branches of the tree being displayed below the trunk of the tree, they get displayed above it. /branch /branch +trunk
eek eek!!
feature = future

depends on 3206
this requires changes to GAL (and in fact only GAL afaict)
sounds like the thread post order should be the same as global post order, ie if oldest is on top in the inbox, oldest should be on top in the thread. Likewise, if newest is on top in the inbox, newest should be on top in the thread.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
