(Feedback website) Sort comments

Currently, when looking through the comments of a post you can only sort them two ways: sort by newest and sort by oldest. Therefore I think you should add more ways of sorting them for example: sort by votes. Some posts sometimes have hundreds of comments and the sort by votes is useful because you can see comments other people liked

  Hi there!

  We're actually working on sorting comments efficiently, but it is lower on the priority list than fixing some of our existing bugs. Happy to see there's interest in this and we'll be monitoring this thread for other suggestions on ways to sort comments as well!

  This is important because when posts are under review, often the top rated comments can be at the bottom. Which is bad if those comments are giving their own two cents or even revising/ adding to an idea.

  I can see that, but a fun fact: top-rated comments do get linked in reports to the team, so they do get called out. :) That's why it is very important people join existing topics in progress. Highly rated comments along with the original post really give our team an idea what people think - which means we're better informed.
