In Privatemsg currently all messages are ordered like that
- 1. message (from yesterday) 'unread'
- 2. message (100 days ago) 'unread'
- 3. message (from today) 'read'
Normal behaviour for messaging applications is like that:
- 1. message (from today) 'read'
- 2. message (from yesterday) 'unread'
- 3. message (100 days ago) 'unread'
My proposal is to add a functionality, that allows the administrator to
select between the Standard privatemsg and the normal messaging behaviour.

Comment #1
berdirChanging this is easy and it might be a good idea to only do the "normal messaging" behavior as #555016: Planning for sending messages to roles. will make the current way even more complicated.
Opinions?

berdirCommited to 6.x-2.x-dev and 7.x-1.x-dev.
Comment #4
naheemsays commentedhm... I liked the odl behaviur - it had the safety net that all unread messages were there at the top and could not be missed (or hiding on another page).
However, I do understand why going the default route may be more expected (I just thought it was a nice useability touch.)
Comment #5
berdirWell, I would make it configurable, but the main issue is that I had real issues when working on #555016: Planning for sending messages to roles. with this and wasn't able to work around it.
Maybe we can add a way to only sort by unread messages. How are others doing that?
Comment #6
naheemsays commentedWe can leave this for now to hopefully come back to if it is easy enough.
The current system that has been moved to works very well, but I jsut thought the old system was nifty - not nifty enough to have as a separate option for though. Too many options is bad design IMO.
