I am looking at the Topic Review item below the reply.

Is it possible to have a Reverse/Forward sort option?

What, to enable the most recent post to be at the top?

Not sure I have come across that, in some ways it makes sense, although I would have thought that would be better in the user preferences, rather than in the display screens, I can see that causing confusion for for some users?  And adding to the plethora of buttons we now seem to enjoy.  Simple is good.

On the BBC News website, the HYS comments give the option to have 'Newest first' or 'Oldest first' the default is 'Newest first' but I find it hard to follow the posts backwards especially when they are referring to previous posts, it's like reading a story backwards.   I always switch to 'Oldest first', much easier.
