Would be amazing if comments could be sorted by "likes" or ranked, similar to Reddit. Engenders great community engagement and democratic comment filtering.

Well, it seems that 'Oldest' is now the default for comments - at least for me. Haven't had time to play around with it yet, but VERY pleased to see that things are apparently back to a useful state in this regard. Thanks !!!!

I got tired of constantly reasserting "Oldest" sort after each refresh and consigned myself to tolerating "Newest" sort. But after being notified about Ian Farbrother's observation today, I changed the sort order to "Oldest" and refreshed. Sort stayed "Oldest" despite refresh. Cool.

Yeah, it seems SA has added a feature where the sort order is now sticky. It even remembers the way you set it and keeps this sort across all articles. Nice. I like to read things in chronological order, while other folks can read in reverse order if they prefer. Can always change the sort if you need to. Everybody gets what they want when they want it.

Default sort is now user selected. Thanks SA for fixing this.
