Ordering comments in discusions by its DESC CommentID and DESC DateUpdated

Hi,

Does someone knows how to ordering comments in discussions by its DESC CommentIDs and DESC DateUpdated ?

Thanks in advance

My answer was totally wrong, so you can forget it completely.

What do you expect?

If you sort by CommentID, you will have a list that does not take any other thing into consideration:

CommentID | DateUpdated
8 | 2016-09-05
7 | 2016-09-05
6 | 2016-09-05
5 | 2016-09-20
4 | 2016-09-20
3 | 2016-09-21
2 | 2016-09-02
1 | 2016-09-02

The CommentID is unique. Having more than 1 sort criteria only makes sense if your first sort criteria is not unique. So if the first sort criteria is DateUpdated and the second criteria is the CommentID you would end with a list like that

CommentID | DateUpdated
3 | 2016-09-21
5 | 2016-09-20
4 | 2016-09-20
8 | 2016-09-05
7 | 2016-09-05
6 | 2016-09-05
2 | 2016-09-02
1 | 2016-09-02

Changing that order would most probably require a plugin that uses CommentModels BeforeGet event but I guess that wouldn't be easy.
And again: I see no valid reason for that.

Try adding $Configuration['Vanilla']['Discussions']['SortDirection'] = 'asc'; to your /conf/config.php
