Changing comment order
-
Hello all,
I’m wondering how I can change a setting so that the comments on any blog post or page will be newest comment first, oldest comment last.
I did a search and found somebody’s suggestion to change the timestamp…however, I’m unsure how to do this.
Is there any other way to change that (the chronological order of comments)? It seems that WordPress would have such a setting; I’ve just yet to find it! :)
Thanks for any help.

I’m sorry but there isn’t a setting to change the order.
If you wanted to change the timestamp, you’d to to Comments in the Dashboard and click on the comment author’s name where you can then make changes.

Okay, thanks so much for answering! :)
Is there a “Suggestions” forum around where I might post this suggestion to the Powers that Be? :)

One thing to consider is that comments many times are like a conversation with one comment building on another. Having the comments go from oldest at the top to newest at the bottom makes it a little easier for people to follow that “comment” conversation. If the order is reversed, then the reader has to scroll clear to the bottom and read the comments while scrolling up.
Just thought I would offer that.

To be perfectly honest, I find newest to oldest such a pain that I simply don’t try to read sites that use that format.
