Ability to configure control environment so that topic replies appear in order of "Newest first" by default

Thanks guys for sharing that. And especially the Ideas does not even have the Oldest/Newest toggle like other threads.

Adding my vote here.
I’ve followed guidance from my onboarding manager to set up an ‘Introduce Yourself’ topic. We launched yesterday and the list of comments is getting long. I assumed setting the default to newest first would be an option. However, it does mean that you have to scroll through the other intros which I guess is the goal for this type of conversation, but I can foresee this causing a block on a lot of other cases. Thanks

@sarahmasterton-brown bit confused as you can already do this. In Control, open a topic, and choose NEWEST FIRST from the menu. That setting, from what I can tell carries over from topic to topic (or at least it does in our instance).

Thanks @Scott Baldwin  I’m waiting to change the order of comments on a topic in the front-end. I can’t see what you see in control. This idea is to display newest first in the front-end by default - that’s what i’m looking to achieve. :)

Ah, you can’t do that on the front-end. Would suggest creating a new idea as this idea was about managing it in Control.

I mean the business usecase is captured in detail on this thread itself and @Pawel offers hope ?

Btw, just from a book-keeping pov, the end user UX idea is also submitted by @revote, here

It’s a small change to improve quality of life indeed.  

Since the new Moderation overview offers the ability to set the filter for Replies = More than 0, and set the sorting based on Last activity, does this not provide the view that’s described in this idea? You can of course, save it as a personal view

This functionality is already supported today through the moderation overview, where you can sort by last activity and save it as a personal view. For the near future, we will be closing this thread for further replies and encourage you to create new ideas for any further enhancements.
