Comment (by boonebgorges):

 > That's backwards. Page 1 is always the oldest comments, page 2 are
 slightly newer comments, and so forth

 Right - I misspoke. Sorry about that. (Staring at oldest/newest,
 first/last, asc/desc for long enough will get to you.)

 >  it was done this way so that comment permalinks are actually permanent.

 Ah, this makes sense. Thanks for chiming in :)
