Comment order : Ascending - Descending

dax 09 Apr, 2009
Hi Max,
Now comments go from first (older one) to last (latest) as we go from top to bottom, but I need to reverse the order. On my Guestbook page, Comments are piling up and with pagination, the latest comments are going to page 2, page 3 ... and so on. Visitors however see same comments on the main page of Guestbook, because older post are never going to change. I hope I'm making sense. I browse through the forum and many users have this problem but i did not find an authentic answer.
Can you please show me how to do it ? At least for my guestbook page.
Can you just make it in back-end configuraion, where all one has to do is to select from a radio button : comment order 1) ascending OR 2) descending. per either article id or some other way. (i mean sitewide change or selected article/post)

Hi dax,

I will implement this issue in the next release, I will try to have it ready ASAP, do you have some time ?

I think some user posted how to do this here a while back but it includes some excessive hacks, I prefer that you wait for the new release!

was this feature ever added? I have the latest version 1.2 and I do not see a parameter for it.. I too would prefer the most recent comment be first rather than paging thru to find the latest comment posted. if there is a code hack to reverse the order Iam comfortable with that as well...

I'd also like to know if we can sort descending without hacks as well, CC is basically worthless tm me if I cant do this😟

Hey Max..

What ever happened to this?? I've hacked previous installs of CC to make the order ASC,.. but, would much rather use a core function, so I dont have to redo it each time I upgrade LOL...

Any word ?
