@Nathan Stevens - I can’t find any sort/filtering option in the Comments panel or any note about this in the Comments Help Center article.

Filtering in Search

You could try filter in the search pane - in my test board, it is showing the most comment first:

Wish List Idea Post

I also couldn’t find any Wish List Idea posts requesting this functionality, although there are 146 posts and I didn’t review them all in any detail.

I’d recommend adding this as an Idea in the Wish List category by following the guidelines here: Wish List: Everything You Need to Know.

If you do create a Wish List Idea post, I would also recommend that you post a link to it back here, so that future readers of this post can quickly get to and vote for your Idea.

Lastly, don't forget to vote for your own Idea.

Would be great to be able to sort the view of the comments.
Currently, it defaults to most recently updated.

My team & I use comments a lot. Having a way to filter them by most recent, author, etc. would make this form of communication much better.
