 Replying to [comment:19 kretzschmar]:
 > If a user checks to sort new comments first he expects to have comment
 9,8,7,6,5 on page 1 and 4,3,2,1 on page two.

 That would mean you could never link to a comment.

 Say you want to link to comment number 3. That would be /post/comment-
 page-2/#comment-3

 When more comments arrived that created a third page, comment number 3
 would then be on page 3, breaking the link to that comment.

 I believe it also made for some craziness with the next/prev comment page
 links as the "newer" and "older" text would then be reversed and that
 woulda been a pain to fix.
