Please make an option to put the newest messages on top and oldest at the bottom, instead of the current oldest at the top.

I just spent a few minutes trying to scroll to the bottom of a chat thread, so strange this is the default layout.

Hey Salah Boukadoum! Where are you looking to have things flipped around? And when you say post, do you mean the special type of message we call "Posts" or just normal Chat messages?

Brendan W I mean in all conversation UIs - posts and chats. If you want to be amazing, the same would be excellent in the Activity sidebar.
For us, everything "new" is at the top - we sort views descending by date, write information in docs with newest at the top, keep notes in tasks/tickets by date with newest at the top, etc. So when we open an item, we see the relevant newest information in front of us, not what happened a year ago. You scroll down to go back in time if necessary. Like this:
25.01.31 omg y'all new release has Chat in descending order, it usually takes a lot longer
24.12.31 talked with Brendan on Canny
24.12.31 posted feature request on Canny
24.12.30 realized chat is upside down
In addition, the longer the chat gets, the farther you have to scroll up and up and up to get to the "start syncup" and "calendar" buttons, but in reverse order the relevant controls are right there.

Salah Boukadoum: Thanks for the explanation and the suggestion! Transparently, this isn't something we'll be doing right now but its a good idea for a setting perhaps in the future!
