Teams message feed is sorting new messages from top to bottom.

Hi Raul, I'm Joshua and I am happy to help.

I understand how you feel about the message feed sorting new messages from top to bottom. However, this feature cannot be turned off permanently as it is an integral part of the Teams user experience.

That being said, there are a few ways to customize your message feed to suit your needs. For instance, you can use filters to prioritize certain conversations or channels. You can also use the "mark as unread" feature to keep track of messages you haven't read yet.

As for your concern about the app updating and resetting your preferences, you can rest assured that Microsoft Teams takes user feedback seriously and continuously improves the app's functionality. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can submit them through the Teams feedback portal.

I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Regards,
Joshua.

I think I am with Raul on this one, in saying that the only customization to suit our needs is the one requested here. Not taking this feedback seriously, and with these types of responses is a major reason in me advocating against using products like Teams.

Thanks Collin. We don't get an option to not use this application as it has been an integral part of our business. One of the updates gave you the option of turning off 2.0 which changed the priority of the feed to the old style. The next upgrade took away the option and forced the user to get used to it. Changes are good and its natural to want to stay a certain way since we are creatures of habit. considering the feedback from multiple users in this community, they need to listen and not forget that the customer is always right which is the end user. Not everyone is computer savvy like those in the Microsoft tech developer's world. It seems like they have lost touch with the most important thing which is the simple end user.

Agreed. Sorting the posts in Channels to be "Newest-at-top" while Chats (in the same app) are "Newest-at-bottom" is awful design.

Please give us a choice to sort the posts in the order we want. Forcing us to use this mismatched design is cruel to people who are forced to use this tool.

There something odd about the UX here.

I see this as moving to a more facebook style Posts+Replies for team channels, with a more prominent reply box.

However - currently I find our teams use quite a lot of channels like chatrooms, not like facebook - they don't see posts and reply in thread; they just add another message to the main channel like a chat conversation. They're going to be very annoyed when things happen "backwards".

While this move towards posts+replies isn't bad in itself, it means we are effectively losing the team chatroom for each team.

Having a flag at channel level to say whether it's a chat or a posting channel would be good.

Ultimately all I've ever wanted was a groupable list of "stuff" going on that I can keep my eye on or get alerted to - and get involved where needed.

My ideal is for the app not to be split by feature at the top, instead being grouped by team (and arbitrary groups I define). I want to see tasks, calendars, chats, post-channels, calls, activity, folders, collaborative files, emails, apps, etc relevant to that group ... under the group. I wouldn't mind nested subgroups too, but can live without ;)
