WordPress comment sort order

Sort comment display order (ascending) ASC or (descending) DESC in WordPress 2.6.
I found this information on the web that was written about a year ago. Kudos to whomever hypOr is!
After searching through wp-includes/comment-template.php I found where to implement the mod. Works with my WP v2.6 no problem. However, when it comes time to upgrade your 2.6, you will have to do this again provided the future versions don’t change this one particular function. Future versions may even include this in the admin area. I hope. 😉
Around line 642 in wp-includes/comment-template.php you need to add:
, $order = 'DESC' after:
$file = '/comments.php'
Example:
function comments_template( $file = '/comments.php', $order = 'DESC' ) No mods to these areas:
{
global $wp_query, $withcomments, $post, $wpdb, $id, $comment, $user_login, $user_ID, $user_identity;
if ( ! (is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments) )
return;
$req = get_option('require_name_email');
$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();
extract($commenter, EXTR_SKIP);
/** @todo Use API instead of SELECTs. */
if ( $user_ID) {
Then on ~lines 654, 656 and 658 add:
$order after:
ORDER BY comment_date
Example:
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = %d AND (comment_approved = '1' OR ( user_id = %d AND comment_approved = '0' ) )
ORDER BY comment_date $order", $post->ID, $user_ID));
} else if ( empty($comment_author) ) {
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = %d AND comment_approved = '1'
ORDER BY comment_date $order", $post->ID));
} else {
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = %d AND ( comment_approved = '1' OR ( comment_author = %s AND comment_author_email = %s AND comment_approved = '0' ) )
ORDER BY comment_date $order", $post->ID, $comment_author, $comment_author_email));
}
Or you can just replace the whole section if you want. Look carefully but, this should start at line 642 and end at line 659
function comments_template( $file = '/comments.php', $order = 'DESC' ) {
global $wp_query, $withcomments, $post, $wpdb, $id, $comment, $user_login, $user_ID, $user_identity;
if ( ! (is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments) )
return;
$req = get_option('require_name_email');
$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();
extract($commenter, EXTR_SKIP);
/** @todo Use API instead of SELECTs. */
if ( $user_ID) {
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = %d AND (comment_approved = '1' OR ( user_id = %d AND comment_approved = '0' ) ) ORDER BY comment_date $order", $post->ID, $user_ID));
} else if ( empty($comment_author) ) {
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = %d AND comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_date $order", $post->ID));
} else {
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = %d AND ( comment_approved = '1' OR ( comment_author = %s AND comment_author_email = %s AND comment_approved = '0' ) ) ORDER BY comment_date $order", $post->ID, $comment_author, $comment_author_email));
}
That’s it! Works for me…

This could work, but if you just want the sort to work for a specific theme, I suggest sticking to the comments.php.
I’ve found a quick fix that requires only a single line of code to be added on the comments.php to work.
I posted in my blog a short article on the solution to the worpdress comment sort.
Excellent solution. Thanks. I will have to try this. Way better than having to refer to notes on what to change with every PHPWS upgrade. Thanks for the post.
