How to show new mail threads

[Kat17man]

I'm running Catalina 15.6 on a new MacBook Pro and having an annoying email problem. In every previous Mac, when I open mail, my new mail is at the top of the list. However when I click on an email that has several replies buried in it, the latest is at the bottom of the thread instead of at the top. So I have to page down through several lines to see the latest reply. In a reply, I want the latest at the top. I can't find anyplace that shows how to correct this problem.

On my '13 MBA, running the same macOS, I don't have this problem. There must be some setting I can find that defaults to this viewing method as my '20 MBP was bought about 1 month ago.

OK, I guess I had my "stuipd" hat on. On my MBA, I had this option checked. On my brand new MBP, it's not. I assume it's not the default setting. I certainly don't remember unchecking it on my MBP.

THANK YOU. 5*****
