Hi. Comments need to be able to be sorted with most recent on top. This is a fatal flaw. When is this coming?

Please, please, please fix this so that the most recent comments are first. Is it too complicated to make this happen? It’s such a simple AND LOGICAL request. It should have never been the oldest comments first.

Adding to the request for this option as well (most recent comments at the top). This is the top frustration with our new users at our small office as I try to get them excited about the possibilities of Asana. Thanks!

It really is exhausting to scroll to the latest comment. The request for this attitude is already very old. When will that change? This point affects the daily work very much.

Can’t believe it’s 2 years old and still not fixed… the most frustrating, dark and anti-user friendly UI pattern ever :joy:
Thanks for CSS hack, community to the rescue! :love_you_gesture:
Updated version, since class names had changed:

.InboxThreadStories{
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column-reverse;
}
.InboxThreadStories .InboxStory:nth-last-child(n+4) {
  opacity: 0.3;
}

.InboxThreadStories .InboxStory:nth-last-child(n+11) {
  display:none;
}

You can adjust numbers as you need.

Thank you Alex. Thats great.
Can you or any other here show me how to implemente this code as css so that it works?
I have no idea but it would help very much. Thank you.

Hey, you need any browser extension that provides user.css feature, I’m using this one

So you just paste CSS there on any site and it will be appended automatically to all pages.

Thanks for posting this solution. I tried using the CSS tool you suggested and pasting in the code, but it’s not working. What are you supposed to do with the (n+4) and (n+11) figures? Are you supposed to change those numbers? If you can elaborate, since we aren’t getting any help from Asana on this topic, it would be greatly appreciated!

I tried using the CSS tool you suggested and pasting in the code, but it’s not working.

Make sure you’re pasting it on the appropriate domain e.g. open CSS box on this URL
https://app.asana.com/0/inbox/
And paste there, so it will be added on that domain.
Also, I’m not sure if you have the same layout markup in Asana as I do, so check with web inspector if you have these elements
.InboxThreadStories
and
.InboxThreadStories .InboxStory

What are you supposed to do with the (n+4) and (n+11) figures? Are you supposed to change those numbers?

It’s up to you. (n+4) will highlight first 3, and (n+11) will hide all after first 10. So if you need e.g. highlight first 5 and show first 15, you need (n+6) and (n+16) respectively.

Hi there,

I’m find the order of comments on tasks really confusing. It would be so much easier to be able to see the most recent comment first like in an email chain rather than having to scroll to the bottom of comments. Is there any way to have the option to reorder comments on all tasks in an organisation by newest first? A number of people in our organisation have asked about this.

To combat it we are having to put task updates in the task description section (newest on top) which isn’t ideal and doesn’t leave any space for an actual task description.

Thanks :):slightly_smiling_face:

Welcome to the Forum @Clare_Stone and thank you for taking time to share your feedback with us!

There is already an existing thread requesting to reverse the order of the Comments so I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with this main thread to avoid duplications . I would recommend to add your vote to this main thread :slight_smile:

Have a great Thursday!

Voting for this as well. It’s a pretty basic feature to be able to sort comments and filter out change history!

My first vote- the ability to sort comments by newest/oldest first within the card and have a default option set at the project level is perfect.

Alternatively, have the comments oldest to newest (at the bottom) but have a view that shows the bottom most comment when you open the card then you can expand/scroll-up to see the history as needed (like fb comments)
