New description:

 In Wordpress 2.7, threaded comments have a built in limitation that
 determines how many levels of comment nesting are allowed. This prevents
 users from replying to messages that are at the nested limit.

 The admin interface has no such limitation. Admins are able to reply to
 messages that are at the nested level limit.

 When this happens, comments begin appearing (for all intents and purposes)
 out of order.

 This can also be caused by changing the nested level to a smaller number
 after comments exist.

 Examples of this problem are linked to in this discussion:

Comment(by ryan):

 #9003 fixes reparenting of comments after the parent is deleted.  It is
 still possible to get an "orphan" if a comment that has children is marked
 as spam or put into pending.
