Make joblog displayed in RSS Messages window LIFO instead of FIFO or even better make it optional

With the introduction of IBM Services more and more system administration tasks are moving to SQL scripting. In those SQL scripts CL commands are used using the syntax "CL:". Also the scalar function QSYS2.QCMDEXC is used. 
When running commands in many cases the last messages from the joblog are more relevant than the first messages. The messages shown in the messages panle of RSS always show the first messages from the joblog. Although the option to view the complete joblog is available using the "joblog" button in the top bar, having the last messages from the joblog available without extra action makes the life of a system admin easier.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature.

    This is a reasonable user interface request if time allows to implement.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    In my ACS Version: 1.1.9.5, the message panel autoscrolls and always shows the latest messages?

    I have to scroll up to see the previous messages - and when new commands are run, ACS autoscrolls again.

    So I can't recognize the situation?

    Best regards,
