"... I wish to see all posts/tweets in the exact order it was created ..."

Oh my, that definitely should be filed under: "Be Careful What You Wish For"

I suspect such a change as that would end up annoying the living you know what out of most every user on Twitter. They should let YOU configure YOUR OWN account to see everything. But I'd be really hesitant to do that for every account on Twitter by default. That just would not end well.

You can make Twitter display all tweets in chronological order, they just call it a "list". Instead of following people, add them to a list. When you view the list you'll see all the tweets from people on that list, in chronological order. And as a bonus, no ads!

I'm OK with this being OPT IN, hidden behind three layers of warnings. I just want it to be an option.

It is an option, a terribly obscure one, if you use Twitter's search interface to read your tweets instead of your home timeline.

I have this URL bookmarked as "Twitter classic":

https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=filter%3Afollows%20-fi...
