Is there a way to reverse the order of the comments without editing the core code so that the newest comments are at the bottom?

Not that I'm aware, but it would be a nice simple feature for managing from the cms.

\sapphire\core\model\SiteTree.php
Line 288

public function Comments() {
		$spamfilter = isset($_GET['showspam']) ? '' : 'AND IsSpam=0';
		$unmoderatedfilter = Permission::check('ADMIN') ? '' : 'AND NeedsModeration = 0';
		$comments =  DataObject::get("PageComment", "ParentID = '" . Convert::raw2sql($this->ID) . "' $spamfilter $unmoderatedfilter", "Created DESC");
		
		return $comments ? $comments : new DataObjectSet();
	}

I think changing "Created DESC" to "Created ASC" will do what you want.

I agree. I think it would be a nice simple feature for the cms.

That was the code I didn't want to edit, but looks like I don't have a choice. Oh well. Thanks for the response.
