Comments / replies display order was created by AlanJones
QUick question about comments and replies display order. I know how to change the display (Inline collapsed is best for me), but how do I change the order of display? At the moment it bumps recent comment activity to the top. I want recent Post activity to bump, but I'd prefer comments and replies to stay in top down order.

Comment order doesn't change with a activity comment bump. The comment container is just a flexbox column container. So you can reverse its order as you see fit. The following CSS is already included by default based off how many comments there are.
.cb_template .activityStream .activityContainer:not(.activityCommentsLong) .commentsStream,
.cb_template .activityStream .activityContainer:not(.activityCommentsLong) .commentsStreamItems {
	flex-direction: column-reverse !important;
}

If you don't want that you can apply the below using CBs built in CSS overrides feature.
.cb_template .activityStream .activityContainer:not(.activityCommentsLong) .commentsStream,
.cb_template .activityStream .activityContainer:not(.activityCommentsLong) .commentsStreamItems {
	flex-direction: column !important;
}

Basically if there's a lot of comments then the new comment box will be at the top because it's no longer possible to follow it as a discussion thread. Otherwise new comments box will be at the bottom.
