I didn't know where else to ask this. Since this is the most active group
perhaps someone will know the answer... TIA

I want threads to show with the "newest posts" at the top (from either a
complete list of a group or from a search). In the help section I find
the
text listed below.. but there is no choice I can find with these 2 options
anywhere on the main newsgroup page. I see three main frames with the
left
most having links to the various groups (within catagories). The middle
pane
has the Thread lists and the right pane is a view of the selected
thread/post. Over the Thread and view panes I have a text box "Search
For:"
In: (dropdown newgroup list) and a "GO" button. A header title with
New(question|general comment); reply; Show: (all threads|answered
questions|questions with out answers|threads with helpful posts). Then 2
buttons for print post and copy URL to clipboard. Am I on the wrong MSDN
Newsgroup page?

Sort threads in a discussion group
To change the order of threads in a discussion group, you can sort threads
by descending date according to the date of the first post in the thread,
or
according to the date of the last (most recent) post in the thread. The
sorted list of threads appears in the thread pane, with all of the threads
collapsed.

To sort threads according to the date of the first post in the thread,
click
newest threads at the top of the thread pane.
To sort threads according to the date of the most recent post in the
thread,
click newest posts at the top of the thread pane.
