Arrangement of a thread's posts and the reply textbox

Not sure if this is suggested before.
The posts in a thread are arranged chronologically like this:
#1 (OP)
#2
#3
...
#n
<textbox to post reply>
But sometimes, when the OP's post contains important info, and the thread page is very long, it would be useful to arrange like this:
#1 (OP)
<textbox to post reply>
#2
#3
...
#n
Or like this:
#1 (OP)
<textbox to post reply>
#n
...
#3
#2
Is it possible to make such arrangements? Have an option (all threads/ only pinned threads/ per thread/ auto switch when a thread reaches a custom length (mm, cm or pixels)) to let the user to choose his favourite option?

Just no.

If this is an out-of-the box feature when we eventually migrate to new software, then ok. Maybe.
But for the most part there is something to be said for chronology. It is better to read the whole thing in the order in which it was written.
