Re: User comments on php.net/manual/: date sort order descending?

couple reasons not to change that: - if a post has survived for such a long time, it's probably valuable. If not, it needs to be deleted rather than moved to the bottom of the pile. Also, if it's good, it should probably be added to documentation (and if it's at the top, it'll keep bugging developers to do just that - I think that's a bonus) - a lot of posts say something like 'In addition to the previous post...' or 'the previous post is wrong - someone, delete it! The right code snippet is...' - it would be extra confusing to reverse the order now. Vlad Björn Schotte wrote:

Hi, just digged through some user comments in the manual which are sorted date ascending, i.e. oldest posts (from 1999 or 2000) are first. Wouldn't it be better to sort date descending? There are plenty of issues from 1999/2000 which are already solved in newer PHP versions and I think it irritate users less if they read the newest comments first.
