Issue :
The system does not display the latest reply at the top of the replies section. Additionally, there is no sort option available for users to reorder replies (e.g., newest first, oldest first).
Steps to Reproduce:
Navigate to the module/page where replies can be added.
Add a new reply.
Refresh the page or return to the same screen.
Observe the order of the replies.
Expected Result:
The latest reply should appear at the top of the list,
OR
A sort option (Newest First / Oldest First) should be available to change the reply order.
Actual Result:
Replies are not sorted, and the latest reply appears last in the list instead of on top.
No sorting feature is provided.
Impact:
Users may miss recent updates.
Hard to identify the latest activity in discussions

I had initially planned for a sort button; but didn't include it to keep the UI clean. If we introduce a way to sort the responses - what should be the default?

A - New comments on top OR B - Old comments on top (current)

Option A new comments on the top

@Shubhada - We'd be looking at threaded comments (2-level deep: Main reply can have multiple comments).

Having latest comments on the top may disturb the logical flow of the information.

One way to solve this is to let the members customize how they want the comments to appear. However, guests will always see it in chronological order.
