Body: <p>Does anyone know how to make the Case activities in the activities pane display in <b>ascending</b> order by default (earliest first)? At the moment, they appear in descending chronological order (latest first). I'm happy to do a bit of tweaking, if someone could point me in the right direction for finding the relevant file(s) to edit. Thank you.</p>

  Does anyone know how to make the Case activities in the activities pane display in **ascending** order by default (earliest first)? At the moment, they appear in descending chronological order (latest first). I'm happy to do a bit of tweaking, if someone could point me in the right direction for finding the relevant file(s) to edit. Thank you.
