Ask HN: Is it possible to sort comments by date?
3 comments
Well, this site provides some links to interesting websites and articles. However, this site is terrible in terms of usability. TERRIBLE! I won't come back until this has changed. Good bye.
Within a single submission, no. Globally, yes:

I mean within a single submission, of course. :)
The global comments kind of works but can be incredibly disorienting to read since it jumps from topic to topic.

I can't be the only person who has had this issue. You click on a comment thread and read it all the way through, then come back to it a day later. There are 50 new comments, but they are scattered across several dozen threads, and trying to find the new ones is a huge pain.
