Account setting to always show newest posts first?

On the old forum there was a setting in the user options to reverse the post order in threads. Once it was set, every thread I opened showed the newest post at the top of page one. It was a permanent account setting, not a sort or filter I had to pick each time.

I can’t find that setting since the new site design. Now a long thread opens on page one with the oldest posts. To read the latest reply I have to scroll down, go to the last page, then scroll down again.

Is the setting still there and I’m just missing it? If it was not carried over, could it be added back as a saved preference, so newest first is my default on every thread? It saves a lot of time when you are trying to scan the latest replies on long threads.

Thanks.
