how to sort comment number in decending order

Any help would be appreciated

Simplest method: Building from this, we can decrement the value for each comment. So *before* the comments loop starts, that is outside of it, place this in your comments template:

<?php $comment_num = get_comments_number(); ?>

Then in the comments loop:

<?php echo $comment_num; $comment_num--; ?>

The $comment_num--; piece is key here, as it will decrement the value of $comment_num for the next iteration of the loop.

EDIT: Wanted to note this can also be used with an ordered HTML list:

<li value="<?php echo $comment_num; $comment_num--; ?>">

thanks, I will test it out now.

Thanks again

I am using the following code to create a comment number :

<?php $i = 0; ?>
<?php if ( $comments ) : ?>


<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<?php $i++; ?>

and add the following code in where I want the number to appears:

<span class="count">
<?php echo $i; ?>
</span>


Where should I put your code? Please advise. Thanks

You can change:

<?php $i = 0; ?>

to:

<?php $i = get_comments_number(); ?>

(Though $i is a bit generic…) Remove:

<?php $i++; ?>

And change:

<?php echo $i; ?>

to:

<?php echo $i; $i--; ?>

Thanks. It works.
