Have the inbox show the most recent sender only, not who started the thread

When an email comes in from a new sender, the message shows who started the thread instead of who sent the email. This makes things confusing and some responses from individuals I would prio over others. This feature makes it difficult to do and to assess priority of tasks. This also makes things difficult or irrelevant when the individual who started the thread is no longer at the company or is no longer relevant to this thread. It would be a huge help and improvement if this could be improved and implemented.
