In Reverse Order

This might be baked in other areas. Where I live though the same phone company that tells me I have to redial a number because the part of the next-door area code I'm calling requires it (instead of just saying hey, the call will cost you an extra 25 cents, press 1 to put it through) also offers another aggravating feature. When I want to hear the most recent message I have to work my way through all of the recent ones that have been saved by my wife and kids for one reason or another. This idea is really simple, just add a button I can press that will play the messages in revese order, newest to oldest.

       Well, the Idea ain't baked here. There are other annoying "features" as well, such as when you archive a message the program archives the time and date you saved your message and strips away the time and date of the original message. Nearly all my messages would be better saved with a time/date stamp because they are "Hi. Call. Need to talk. C U"

       + I can't figure out if my phone / ans. machine is evil or just stupid. It plays old messages in time order by the day of the week. So all messages recieved on Sunday go first, even if it was a Sunday 2 years ago.   

       To make it worse, the phone often gets what day of the week it is wrong. I used to reset it about once a week, but now have given up.
