One of the most common things I get asked is "How can I change the default sort order for the comments section so that it is the same as discussion threads (oldest to newest). Along with "and put the editor at the bottom of the comments).
Well, now its as simple as setting the Comment System Type.
Traditional Style: Traditional style has the comments editor at the TOP of the comments section and fetches comments from newest to oldest. As you can see, your users also have the ability to sort by Date: Oldest to Newest as well as Likes (Most to Least).
Discussion Style: Discussion style has the comments editor at the BOTTOM of the comments section and fetches comments from oldest to newest, just like a discussion thread fetches posts. As you can see, your users also have the ability to sort by Date: Newest to Oldest as well as Likes (Most to Least).
NOTE: The Sort Comments By DATE sorting changes depending on which comment system is enabled. Which ever system is enabled, that systems sort type will be listed first.
All links to comments (redirects, pagination etc) will also now be anchored to the comments section.
