     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Comments      |    Version:  4.9.8
 Severity:  major         |   Keywords:
  Focuses:                |
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 '''Tested''': on 5.0 and 4.9.8 (found it on 4.9.8)

 '''Steps to reproduce''':
 1. add comments (skip if existing)
 2. change the comment dates
 3. activate pagination in comments in wp-settings -> discussion and set
 comments display "newest".

 '''Mentions'''
 I did testing on both Twenty Seventeen and Twenty Nineteen, the result is
 the same, it will order comments by date for the current page, not all
 comments and then split in pages.

 '''Expected behaviour'''
 Order comments then split them in pages, now it does vice-versa, where it
 orders the comments by date after they are being split in pages.
