I have made my first app, added chat, works fine except that the messages appear in reverse order. New messages appear at the top off the screen. so to see new messages you have to scroll through the entirety of the chat history. I am using the default chat collection with the default comments table it creates. Any help how to get new messages to appear on screen?

Reverse the order of the Chat Collection, under “Options”.
