#322 tried to implement it but it fails due to sorting happening on client side, and pagination retrieval on the server side. It needs a bit more work.

A quick and dirty workaround: add 'asc': 0 here:

plz somebody implement this as soon as possible. because specially when you limit the default comment numbers to be shown , it is very logical that the latest ones should be shown first.

How exactly you do that? I use docker. (it finally works, but oldest first is a dealbreaker for me) - to asnwer my own question:

Copy comments.py to current folder outside docker
docker cp isso_xyz:/isso/isso/views/comments.py .

Edit/add 'asc':0 (and remember a comma after the line before)
nano works fine

        args = {
            'uri': uri,
            'after': request.args.get('after', 0),
            'asc': 0  # Add this line for newest first sorting / line 852
        }

Copy comments.py back to docker
docker cp comments.py isso_xyz:/isso/isso/views/comments.py

docker restart <container name or ID>

That's it!

+1 this. Sad to see this is still an issue after over a decade, even the workaround has problems (replies are sorted in reverse too.)

I'm currently working on this feature.
I hope to finish the PR soon. I'll link it to this issue.
