@Marcus - This new app works great, however when you click on the ticket, the system still automatically scrolls to the bottom, so now you have to scroll back up to see the latest correspondence. Is there a way to stop the auto scroll?

Is there anyway to suppress the "Expand" button?

Hi, 


I see this does not work with the new Freshdesk. Is there any workaround please?

This needs to be included in UI options for admin or individual users

The inability to sort message in reverse chronological order might drive us away from Freshdesk. It really doesn't seem like a big thing to implement as an option, and clearly a lot of your customers want it.

@Jonas.hemgren: If you are still on the old interface of Freshdesk, our free app 'Reversed Search Order' makes this trick for you. Check it out here: https://apps.freshdesk.com/reversed_sort_order/

Unfortunately our app is not compatible with the Mint interface and also we can't update it to be, since the whole framework of Freshdesk is changed and the api doesn't allow UI interactions.


However, on a positive note, a little bird told me that we very soon will have a built in feature to handle the sort order in Mint, so please have some more patience and your prayers will be heard! :)

Unfortunately we are on the new Mint interface. 


That is positive news, let's hope it's sooner rather than later.

I sure hope this feature won't wait much longer. I'm actually pretty amazed that freshdesk haven't addressed this issue after all these years.. Someone on the board must have a very strong conviction that the sort order needs to be confusing. "It's supposed to be an adventure, exciting and fun to see if you can find the emails to respond to". Anyway, thanks swedbyte for telling us about the little bird.

I agree with many others here: A possibility to sort the message in reverse chronological order (most recent message on top) would reduce the need of scrolling dramatically and ease the everyday work within Freshdesk. Please implement this function soon.


I think this should be a standard option and not something that every Freshdesk customer needs to install via a custom app (previously FreshPlug).

Hello,


Sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. We have re-imagined the ticket page layout based on the feedback we've received so far and this is something that we're considering to include as a part of the revamp. With the new layout (currently in development), admins can choose the way you want the messages to appear on the ticket (oldest or the newest message at the top followed by the other messages in the right order).


I'll keep you posted on the updates.


Cheers!

Hello,


When we first started out this exercise, we thought of allowing admins to choose the message order and make it default for all the agents in the helpdesk. We showed the new layout to few people and they thought it be better if the agents also have their own preference for the order of messages in a ticket.


Do you think allowing agents to override the default behaviour set by the admin will be helpful? Hit like to +1 the idea!


Cheers!

Yes, of course it should be per-user setting!


By the way, what interface are you talking about: is it only for agents? I am asking because we don't have real problem with this as agents, however it's our clients who are really in need of this feature. So we need this in client's interface firstly.

I definitely think that the ordering should be individual, so yes I vote for that you make it possible for agents to override the default ordering.

As a response to Denis Shilin: Every user (agent, admin, customer) should be able to control the ordering of the messages in my opinion. It should be a standard option for everyone.

@Denis Starting with the agent interface. We'll look into the possibilities of extending this to the customer portal if we receive more similar requests down the line.


@Daniel Thanks for your suggestion :) If you aren't aware already, you can also upvote a comment by clicking the thumb icon.

After selling and implementing Freshdesk to many hundreds of companies and organizations, and on top of that being the developer of the popular “Reversed Sort Order” app for the old Freshdesk UI, we know that this is a highly awaited feature and that most organizations wants the end-users to be able to switch this themselves. We receive lots of questions and requests about migrating our app to Mint with exactly this functionality.

Yes, absolutely! This feature must be available to agents and customers to set as they prefer. I would also suggest that it be a "toggle" button at the agent and customer view. We often pick up tickets from other agents and having the ability to quickly, and easily, toggle the view would be helpful.

Aravind - does the original FreshPlug work for Freshdesk Mint? Thanks in advance.

@Adam freshplugs have been replaced by apps a long time ago (well, obviously not as long ago as this thread has been lasting...). The problem is that in the “new” interface, Mint, the apps can’t interact with the user interface the same way as it was possible in the old interface. That’s why we all are now waiting on Freshworks to build this feature into the product.

@Adam The freshplug doesn't work on the Mint interface, as @Marcuspointed out. We're building this as a feature and it's currently in the final stages of testing. You can expect this to be rolled out in 2-3 weeks time.


Cheers!

@Marcus@Aravind - Thank you both for your replies. I last implemented Freshdesk into a business prior to Mint, so that would totally make sense. Thank you for letting me know both. :) Many Thanks, Adam.
