HI Mark and all,

What I do is when I come to a message thread, I flick up until I hear “expand 
Thread” and double tap on that.
Next when I hear how many messages are in the thread, I flick right that many 
times so I find the first message which is then read to me.
Then I flick left to proceed to the rest of the messages in the thread.

John, you mentioned the sort order of the messages might play a part in this 
issue.
I don’t know how to change the sort order in iOS.
Could you let me know how to change this if this is possible?

Thanks for clarification.

Bob Hill.
