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

Improved comments functionality is in development now so you should see the next iteration relatively soon.
I’d be happy with a simple sort on posted date irrespective of conversation so I can see most recent comments on top, allowing quick monitoring of the comment feed. Hard to believe such a basic use case is not supported...although I might simply not be seeing it..always a possibility haha. The existing “conversation” based format means the most recent posts may be embedded as responses to older posts, buried in the middle of the comment stack...forcing a painful scroll through reams of old material to find a handful of recent comments.
Hi - sort by most recent on top has been implemented now and is now the default. Thanks for the feedback.
While I think it is great that you are providing more choices for how to view comments, I absolutely HATE having newest first as the default - especially since you don't seem to remember when I change the sort order on a particular article and it goes back to 'newest' when I try to read just the new comments.
Case in point, the comments on Fear & Greed Trader's articles tend to flow in a 'reasonably' logical order. Newest comments first makes it VERY difficult to follow the flow !!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE at least provide a new 'setting' so that I can choose the default !!!!!!!!!!!
Why did you change the default sort to newest first? It means as I read down the page, I'm often reading comments made in reference or reply to comments I haven't seen yet. There should be a place (I'm not aware if there is) where I can make a global persistent preference in how I want the new posts displayed.
Please also enable / create a feature to search comments, and to sort by date
