Sort Comments from Oldest to Newest

Martin Melecky

By default are comments sorted from oldest to newest. When long conversation is happening, you must scroll to the bottom to see latest comment. More logical is latest comment on the top. But as everyone need is different, it will be great if everyone can set default sorting of the comments as per his needs.

Agreed. This seems like a no brainer. Please consider adding it!!

Dennis Loebs

Yes puhleeezzz! 😉

This is CU's most annoying foible for our team.

Merged in a post:

So I guess since this was written 7 years ago and it is still not implemented. You don't take community feedback seriously? This seems like a very easy thing to implement. Whats the hold up. Sorting is horrid in Clickup.

Yes, i've just signed up to clickup and this was my first and almost immediate pain-points.

Newest to oldest please!

New comments should be at the top by defeault, it takes a lot of time to scrolling to the bottom to see the updates/ newest comment. Luci N. could you provide as a feedback about this feature? As I can see tons of different tickets are opened relating to this issue, do you sum the voters up arising from different ticket but exactly the same issue?

Luci N.

Hey, Ludányi Dóra! Great question! The product manager for this feature does take community feedback into consideration when deciding which features will be implemented! If there are duplicate feature requests, we try to locate as many as possible and merge them into one request.

I did a quick scan and didn't see any other ones that matched this, but if there are any that need to be merged, please let me know!

Does ClickUp use their own software? This is a daily pain for anyone using comments. How is scrolling to the bottom to see the newest comment productive and time-saving? New comments should be at the top by default.

I have the same problem in chat view, it started about 6 months ago.
Why are new messages on the end of the list? 
At this moment, I have to go to the end of the list each time to continue chatting.
Previously - new messages were on the top, and I could see them immediately after opening the chat...

I was just searching for a solution to this issue as well and stumbled on to this thread. It would be great to have the ability to bring the newest to the top.

This would be a tremendous help, especially on recurring tasks where comments continue to mount.
