How do I configure Thunderbird so that my responses to e-mail go on top, not on the bottom?

more options

When I get a response to a message, the responder's message is above mine. If I reply back, Thunderbird puts my response at the bottom, under my first message. My response should be above the message I am responding to so that as the conversation continues, all sent & received messages remain in chronological order.
