The numbering of messages on my Nokia 6300 seems to have reversed (i.e. the latest message received is '1' and earlier messages are greater than 1 whereas they used to be numbered with the first message received as '1' and later messages were sequentially increased). How can I change this back please?

The supposed "Nokia 6300 4G User Guide" is in reality nothing that can even come close to being a traditional "User Manual"! I need the dedicated User Manual for this phone... NOT THE CRAP-laden, PHONY, falsely-advertised "Nokia 6300 4G User Guide", which is all-but useless!

Nokia, it should long ago have been stated clearly, doesn't even have BASIC INTEGRITY, HONESTY, PRIDE, NOR COURTESY ENOUGH, in this rather opaque and obscure phone to even provide a substantive, usable customer manual with which customers can INFORM THEMSELVES ABOUT HOW TO GET THE MOST EFFECTIVE USE OF THIS PHONE! Is this what Nokia considers 'customer service'? Apparently so, because why else would they be so UTTERLY CLUELESS? The truth is THEY DON'T REALLY EVEN GIVE A DAMN! Why else would they refuse to provide customers with a helpful booklet, much less even an Owner's Manual, when customers presume Nokia is even worth doing business with... WHICH IT MOST ASSUREDLY IS NOT?
