@Hollyfire53: Good point. I couldn't think of a threaded reply system with newer comments at the top instead of at the bottom.

It doesn't make sense to start reading newer comments first, and encounter first responses to questions that aren't asked until the several next comments. I hope this remain configurable, because is one of the things I hate from Youtube. The vast majority of blogging systems sort comments from older to newer and the reason is pretty clear. Of course, you can add a link to allow navigate to the last comment if you want.
