is this pipe layout ok? (90 elbows after p trap)

Thanks for the help guys. Bought a load of different parts and just tried the T and sweeps. Don't think I can make it work (note in the photo, that's without any straight pipes joining the joints)

Hi guys, if using a 90elbow at the top, I could make it work but would need to have a small stubby section of 32mm pipe. Is this ok? (Highlighted on red).

It'll only be solvent on one so at least removing it from compression would be ok

Another option is this bizarre layout

Might be a silly question but I just assumed you connect a 32mm pipe to this end of the p trap? But can't work out how to secure it? (It's a mcalpine asa10 1quarter inch)

Being stupid. Forgot to wrap the black rubber washer around pipe first
 
You need to put the 2 rings and the nut on the pipe, fully insert it in the trap and then tighten the nut.
Sequence is nut->blue ring->rubber washer.
 
Thanks for all the help guys. Think this is gonna be the best (without breaking wall).

Just triple checking that the stub of the Tee with the access plug is ok? Won't start collecting rubbish there right? (Circled in red)

It'll be fine, I've always done awkward runs with that arrangement. Easier to unscrew the cap and clean the pipework out should you need to than having to cut through it and rejoin afterwards.
