Rob - no matter which button I click on, or filter I use, my PM's will not be arranged in either ascending or descending order by date. I've tried it 5 or 6 times. Again, it is not a big deal for me. It looks like others are experiencing the same and I thought you may want to know. If not, also no big deal.

dunno why yer having that problem, i don't as you can see on a new-to-old sort (by clicking on the word "Date") i just did ...

Rob, mine does that when I hit the arrow by date but when I leave the page and come back to it it's reversed. Is there a way to get it to stay with the latest pm's at the top of the list?

Rob,  I have messages I want from both 2017 and 2018.  When I sort by date it sorts by month first so the January 2017 messages are ahead for the feb 2018.  Is this a date format issue that is an option?

i don't understand yer question.  it sorts dates either ascending or descending.  there are filters and rules than can be applied to messages.  look at the 'actions' and 'preferences' tabs in your messaging menu.

Rob, I am having the same issues also and have went thru all the options you have outlined for 2 days with no positive results. I have several older PM's that I don't want to prune. However it would be nice to see the most recent ones up top.

Guys go to your profile, then click modify profile, then personal messaging then click show most recent pm at top. A check mark should appear and you should be good to go.

Thanks Fred,

Got pissed and just deleted all of them!

And above that you can select to have messages displayed as a conversation so that you can see your replies easier.

Checked the box and refreshed.  PMs still are jumbled but appear to sort by month and then year instead of the reverse.  My format doesn't even look like your screenshot.  Rob go to my account and take a look.  I'm probably doing something wrong but so are a lot of users.

thanks for your help.

After you change any settings, be sure to click the save profile box in the lower right hand corner.

[Rob DiStefano]

you need to check your PM settings.
