:) I can kind of agree with the sentiment...
In fact I think that the sort by oldest/first in thread is appropriate
for binary groups where the order that the posts in a thread STARTED
arriving is appropriate to keep things grouped nicely. On the other
hand a text-only group is often read more like email, and in email
terms sort by most recent/last in thread is more appropriate so that
newly updated threads are grouped.
Again, the ideal solution is probably a per-group setting - How about
having the sort-by-date clicker have 4 states instead of two?
Current: Sort ascending, sort descending
New: Sort ascending (start of thread), sort descending (start of
thread), sort ascending (end of thread), sort descending (end of
thread).
I don't even know if the UI setup allows such a thing, but IMHO it
would allow quick access to what was wanted.
Cheers,
Steve
