What kind of sicko wants to read an email thread in reverse order? I worked on gmail for years and never heard the first whiff of this being a thing that any sane person wants.

I would be willing to allow that there are probably some highly vocal people conditioned by OWA trauma who might have demanded this, but by no means a grassroots army.

is it really that weird to want to read the most recent email first? that's how the emails are already arranged. they just decide to not respect this when reading threaded emails. or is this sarcasm? lol
