Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 Replying to [comment:4 marky]:
 > Personally, I think it would be nice to even allow the newest comments
 appear on page 1, even though it would break the permalinks, if the
 designer so chooses.

 That was done entirely on purpose. Page 1 will always contain the oldest
 posts regardless of settings, but you can control if page 1 or the latest
 page shows up by default.

 If newest comments were added to `/post/comments-page-1/`, then older
 comments would constantly be changing pages. It'd be impossible to link to
 a particular comment and it'd also be bad for Google results. What if a
 Google result was a comment on a post/page but when you went there, the
 comment wasn't there?
