Question

Can posted messages be arranged with the most recent on top and the older ones at the bottom?

Answer 1

Yes!

By Date: Choose to view the most recent messages at the top or at the bottom of the page. Click Sort by Date at the top of the "Date" column to flip it.

As List or By Topic: Above the list of messages, click Group by Topic to clump messages into topics. In this view, above the list of messages, you can return to the basic list view by clicking List as Individual Messages. In the Group by Topic view, you’ve got a number of additional sort options that are explained here.

Groups remembers your sorting preference.

Answer 2

Yes, click Messages.  On the heading line above the first message, click the arrow box to the right of Sort by Date.  This will rearrange the date order.  The date order will default back when you sign out of group.
