I am using Entourage¹08 12.1.5 currently, but this has been an ongoing issue
for as long as I can remember.  What I want is very simple.  I would like my
mailbox to be arranged with older message threads at the top and newer ones
at the bottom.  Within each message thread, I would like to have the
original message at the top, followed by replies, oldest to newest.  What I
do not want is to waste space with the Group title line for each
conversation thread.  I find the ŒShow in Groups¹ option to be hideously
ugly and wasteful of space.

I cannot seem to get Entourage to behave this way.  In order to get the sort
order I want, I have to show the Group line.  If I get it sorted correctly
and then turn off ŒShow in Groups¹ I lose the sort order.  I can¹t seem to
create a custom sort that will work this way.  Am I missing something
simple, or is Entourage not able to do this?

Just to be clear, here is what I would like my inbox to look like:

Thread 1        12/1
re:thread 1     12/2
re: thread 1    12/3
Thread 2        12/2
re:thread 2     12/3
New thread    12/5
unread           12/6

It is essentially this setting, except that I want to suppress the Group
title bar:
> Group by Subject, sorted by received, oldest on top
> Sort within group by received, oldest on top

Any help greatly appreciated.
         -Bob
