notmuch show get newest message first

notmuch show get newest message first

[meOme]

Hi!
Is it possible to get the newest message first in a result of notmuch show?
The result always shows a reply to a message after the message. But as the
reply is newer than the original message the sorting within the replies is
oldest first. It would be great to have "newest-first".
Is that possible?
Thanks a lot for not much.

(setq notmuch-search-oldest-first nil)


Cheers,

Dan

If you refer notmuch-show mode in the emacs interface, the order is
defined by a topological sort of the tree of replies.  It's currently
not possible to reverse it; I guess it's possible in principle, but
notice the last displayed message is not neccesarily the last bye date.
