In my inbox, when I'm deleting messages, how do change the settings so I
delete messages in ascending order rather than descending order

Click on the column header to change from ascending to descending order. I don't know what this has to do with deletions, however.

Thanks, Milly. my question when I highlight a message to delete and after
deletion, I want the cursor to move next to the message above it and not
below it. I know this setting can be changed, but I can't remember how to do
it. I went into Microsoft help and could not find instructions.

Oh, THAT option!

Tools->Options->Email Options. Use the dropdown at the top to set the behavior.
