There's an ambiguity in the meaning of 'first' and 'last', in
particular in terms of what they apply to. In your mind you see them
applying to the presentation order on screen. In Paul's mind he sees
them as applicable to the order in which the messages arrived.

Short of making the description a lot longer and thereby unambiguous,
or changing it to be perhaps 'top' or 'earliest' and thus hopefully more
descriptive of the attribute it describes and less descriptive of the
attribute it doesn't describe, I think it's something people just have
to learn the meaning of. As ever, writing code carries extra votes!
