Reverse Order WordPress Comments

Sometimes you may want the order of comments on your WordPress blog to be reversed, i.e., want the newest comments to appear on top. While simple plug-ins have been available to accomplish this (I liked Sudar’s the best), now there is a much simpler solution. Now WordPress dashboard itself allows you to reverse the order of your comments.

To reverse the order of your comments, go to your WordPress dashboard and follow the following sequence of operations:

1. Under Settings, click on Discussion

2. Under Discussion Settings » Other comment settings it says Comments should be displayed with the older comments at the top of each page. Just change the older to newer using the drop down box, and hit “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page. You are done!

Also, as I said before the search feature at the plugins page needs to be more efficient. It still returns a number of plugins for reversing comment order, when they are no longer needed.
