What is up with the default comment sorting?

Cubes@lemmy.world to Jerboa@lemmy.ml – 4 points –

It seems like there is no order to it, and there doesn't appear to be any way to change it? I would like to sort by "top"

There are sort options on the top of the comment thread. Is that what you mean? options

There are some icons at the top of the page and the second from the right lets you select new/active/top:

Edit: it doesn't remember the order to set the default, but there are options for that in the settings.

The setting you linked shows the sorting for posts, but not for comments, correct? I was specifically talking about comments

They're talking about comments in a post, not the overall post list.
