Feature Description

Unless I am missing something these 2 features don't currently seem available for a thread in the Issues area. These relate to the comments/replies within an Issue thread - not the list of Issue topics.

1 - Sort order - would be nice to have the replies in newest to oldest (reverse chronological) order. Again, for the replies within an Issue thread.

2 - Auto refresh - when a new reply is posted within a thread. If I have that thread open in my browser, for the reply to auto appear rather than me having to reload the page to see new replies.

If these features are already doable I would love to know. Thanks!

The fisrt one would be nice to have. When there's long discussion and I need to come back to same issue again and again, it's lots of scrolling every time.

If there were a possibility to show comments newests-first, the need to always scroll to bottom would be eliminated.

@lunny where I can find that? Does it sort issue comments inside issue view?

This comes from Github's issue list sort filter. Maybe it's unrelated.

@lunny anyways, I mean I would like to be able to sort comments inside issue.

Like, when I come to this current issue we're discussing, I need to scroll all the way to bottom. If I would be able to sort newest comment first, I don't have to scroll.

In a short discussion with few comments it's not a big deal, but if there's tens or even hundreds comments, it becomes laborious to always to scroll to bottom.

It would be nice if it was even a setting so I could make sort order permanent.
