The ability for users to change sort order is great. Unfortunately it has some limitations:
- The sort order is not remembered. So if my blog defaults to newest first, and someone prefers oldest first, then they need to click oldest first every time they visit or refresh the page.
- The comment form does not move with the sort order. The default on my blog is newest first, so I put the comment form at the top. But if someone prefers oldest first they would naturally want the comment form at the bottom. Another solution to this would be to have one comment form on either end if it was too hard to support moving it around based on the setting.
- Posting a comment when in "oldest first" mode still puts a new comment at the top of the stack. So in this case, blog is default newest first, comment form at top. User changes to oldest first and writes a comment. The comment appears at the top instead of the bottom.
Otherwise I am very impressed with the progress you have made with this plugin. Many of the other issues I had with it are gone (guest editing of posts, highlight new posts).
I would like to support wpDiscuz but don't really need any of the addons. I would suggest a new option to purchase "Premium support" for wpDiscuz that would put any feature requests at a higher priority for the customer.

Thank leo.spalteholz,
The sort order is not remembered. So if my blog defaults to newest first, and someone prefers oldest first, then they need to click oldest first every time they visit or refresh the page.
We've already added this to our to-do list.

But if someone prefers oldest first they would naturally want the comment form at the bottom. Another solution to this would be to have one comment form on either end if it was too hard to support moving it around based on the setting.
We are planning to add a functionality, that will allow changing comment form position from top to bottom.

I'm sorry, but it is not possible, as if you set comment order by oldest and someone leaves a new comment, the comment author can't view his comment. There can be 50 comments and the comment's author must scroll down to find his comment.
