Gmail thread reversal settings

In Gmail, you can reverse the order of threads in your inbox by following these steps:

Method 1: Using the "Newest first" sorting option

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
  3. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Go to the "Inbox" tab.
  5. Under the "Inbox type" section, select "Newest first" from the dropdown menu.
  6. Click on the "Save Changes" button.

This will sort your inbox threads in reverse chronological order, with the newest messages at the top.

Method 2: Using the "Thread view" and "Newest first" sorting

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
  3. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Go to the "General" tab.
  5. Under the "Thread view" section, select "Newest first" from the dropdown menu.
  6. Click on the "Save Changes" button.

This will sort your threads in reverse chronological order, with the newest messages at the top, when you are in thread view.

Method 3: Using a browser extension

There are several browser extensions available that can reverse the order of threads in Gmail, such as "Gmail Thread Reverser" or "Gmail Reverse Thread". You can search for these extensions in the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons store and install them to achieve the same result.

Note that these methods only apply to the Gmail web interface and may not work in the Gmail mobile app.
