Emails in thread not showing in chronological order

My old iMac crashed and I had to get a new on with a newer OS and now my email threads don´t show up in chronological order anymore.

Please note that I´m not talking about how to sort emails. The problem is how the replies show up in a thread.

Is there a fix for this bug?

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

Hi, Sixtentherabbit


It sounds like you having an issue with how emails are shown in the Mail app on your new Mac when there are multiple replies to the same thread. Based on this description, this might help:


"Change the order of messages in the preview area: Choose Mail > Preferences, click Viewing, then select or deselect “Show most recent message at the top.”


And that is from View email conversations in Mail on Mac - Apple Support


If not, please provide us more details and we can look into this with you further.


Cheers.
