Need to resolve of ‘Comments’ posting order
-
Lately in http://draaiorgelfan.wordpress.com the ‘Approve’ function inserts comments randomly in between other comments on the blog’s ‘Your Turn!’ page. How do I re-number each comment so they appear from earliest to latest in top-to-bottom order?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What makes you think the comment insertions are random? Every comment has a date/timestamp that reflects when it was submitted.
-
Also note that the setting to change comment display to having the most recent comment on top is found here > Settings >Discussion
Find this section below, make your selections, and click “Save Changes” when you are done.

___ Comments should be displayed with the ___ (older or newer) comments at the top of each page -
Hello again, Timethief. I tried a reset of the settings, but the reset didn’t take hold. I just tested the page with a new comment, still no luck. I ask solidly; will you or anyone else please actively look at http://draaiorgelfan.wordpress.com/your-turn and study the date/timecodes to tell me what happened? I have two Feb. 1sts splitting up November, and another Feb 1st dividing December and January. Something’s out of whack.
Thanks from Ralph!

Volunteers do not have backend access to blogs. I think your blog may need Staff intervention. Here’s the link you can use to file a support ticket http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

Nothing’s out of whack: that’s just because you’ve got the Reply option on, so commenters can post directly below any comment instead of below all previous comments. As timethief already pointed out, those things are set under Settings>Discussion: you can deactivate the option “Enable threaded (nested) comments”.

I’m about giving up trying to explain the wp.com/org difference – is there no end to this?
(Sorry draaiorgelfan, that’s got nothing to do with you.)

OK, panag, I’ll try taking the Reply option off…although I’d prefer to leave it on. And to Timethief, I’ll contact Staff if the effort fails. I honestly don’t mean to be troublesome, but I do get interrupted a lot at my home. Sincere apologies, and I’ll be looking at YOUR blogs – ALL of them – later this week.
Have a Happy Valentine’s Day because I said so. Cheers!

Here’s the deal. There’s nothing wrong with your blog it’s behaiving exactly the way you set it up to behave. You either choose to have threaded comments, in which case those who comment now or in the future can reply to comments previously left by others who have commented, or you choose not to have threaded comments. It’s that simple.

@panag – Accepted. At my blog I deleted the checkmark regarding nested comments. I don’t recall having trouble with this specific checkmark previously, but it worked for the time being. The whole page straightened itself out – all at once!
So, for now…resolved!
Have a good night, folks. See ya’ tomorrow.
