When using the new sorting system introduced in #1005, replies are sorted the exact same as regular comments. If comments are sorted by newest first, the replies to said comments will also be sorted as such. This can potentially confuse the reader, as the reading order for threads is usually always oldest first. Here's an example of what it looks like now:
Note how the thread starts with the oldest post (the OP), then immediately after that, the newest post (the reply.)
