Re: comments sortby latest date / time
Try this:
<txp:comments sort="posted DESC" />The default is to sort ASCending, I think.

Re: comments sortby latest date / time
Thanks Rudd
I tried that but no luck – i also tried
<txp:comments sortby="posted ASC" />and that didnt work either ;(
I am using Textpattern · 4.0.5 could this be why?

Re: comments sortby latest date / time
You would need sortby="posted" sortdir="asc", but you should use sort:
<txp:comments sort="posted asc"/> (Upgrade to 4.0.6 anyways.)

Re: comments sortby latest date / time
You have that in your comments_display form, right?

Re: comments sortby latest date / time
Yes. Did you try the sort attribute (see post #4)?

No problem. Just be sure to update to 4.0.6 (and 4.0.7 in a month or so).
