  Hi ya’ll- I have a beautiful Quentin layout, and want to change my comments to show the latest comments FIRST under the post/page. This isn’t a CSS option as far as I can tell- I bought the upgrade and see nothing that fits- so how can a irearrane the comment order? thanks!

  I think this is only possible by changing the php logic of the comment loop: no way to change it for wordpress.com users.

  I know it’s not much of a help, but as a reader, I hate having to read conversations from the bottom to the top.

  what exactly does that mean? I am a total novice. are you saying it’s possible in other blog sites, just not in word press? php logic is nothing i have any control over? just want to clarify that there is nothing i can do about it. :)

  Thanks! Aphioni

  In a nutshell, it means it’s not possible at wordpress.com as we have no way to edit .php files. We can edit CSS with the upgrade, but CSS only affects a blog’s style, not its functions.
