The default sort when clicking on a date should be descending.

Outlook is very nice to use with regard to sorting; after sorting by sender, subject, etc., when I click on the header of a date field, the default is for it to sort in descending order, which for me is by far the more useful order. This is also in effect for grouping conversations, etc.

Suggestion: either make "descending" order the default for dates, or provide a configuration so that it can be customized for the user.

Thanks!

It has just recently been pointed out that Linux and Windows appear to have diametrically opposing interpretations of what the little arrows mean, and therefore also what "ascending" and "descending" mean. If you were to raise this as a bug, I'd recommend that you spell out what exactly what you mean by "descending". And putting that aside, I don't understand these two words in this context. If I were to sort numerically, from 0 to 9, as I go down ("descending") the list, the numerical values go up ("ascending"). Which word describes sorting 0-9?Scrolling and zooming have similar ambiguity.

As you navigate from one entry to the next, if the numbers go up, it is "ascending". That is a separate issue from any "direction" of navigation. Almost all cultures read from top to bottom, so that shouldn't be hard to agree on, but that "direction" has nothing to do with how one denominates the sort sequence/order.

However, none of that is my point. I don't care what it be called, it is the option to choose the default order of presentation of emails when sorting by a date field that I find highly desirable.

Then I suggest you file an enhancement bug request instead of filing a support request.

Your bug should be filed here. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

Just click date a second time. Not everyone shares your opinion.

I did acknowledge that in my request. An option that permits people to have differing styles and preferences is what I requested.

Thank you, I will do that. This is the first that I have participated in a beta with Mozilla, and followed the links I was provided, but didn't see that option.
