Hi Shal,

In stumbling around the various options, first I tried Admin./Activity/Message activity. The first ¡°sort¡± shown was only messages posted since the migration to Groups.io numbered #1 (10/30/19). The page index at the bottom said 1-100 of 715. But somehow message #123 showed up on this page. (???) Now when I go there I see that following message #25 is message #53503 with message #53574 being the last showing. Clearly these are not assigned numbers according to date and time, but mostly by ¡°Topic¡± and THEN date and time (sigh). Due to ¡°subject drift¡± I find ¡°topic¡± only useful in finding the start of a particular ¡°thread¡± after which a date-sequence presentation is better to follow up with when researching aircraft maintenance, etc. topics (which often recur anew over the years). If I instead forget Admin. And just go to ¡°Messages¡± I get a presentation that appears to be message numbers sequentially assigned by topic/date/time, latest first. Clicking on ¡°Date¡± it reverses the sequencer to oldest first. For the great majority of messages, this IS a "sort by message number" presentation. For reference purposes, that works (primarily because of the ¡°Msg #¡± box for lookup. That jumps one to a given message someone else uses as a reference MUCH quicker than plowing forward or backward (even at 100/page without unlimited scroll). Best!
