Setting the default sorting order to "most voted"?

Hi Saishuni,
Thank you very much for your interest in wpDiscuz 3.
I’m really sorry but there isn’t such an option yet. It’s in our to-do list and we’ll add it in near future versions.

No Problem! I’m glad to hear that it’s on your To-Do.
Temporarily, I’ll edit the plugin files.

If anyone wants to know how:

add
$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
after
$args = array();
(line 203)
in plugins/wpdiscuz/templates/comment/comment-form.php

and

change
$('.wpdiscuz-date-sort-' + wpdiscuzCommentOrder).addClass('wpdiscuz-sort-button-active');
to
$('.wpdiscuz-vote-sort-up').addClass('wpdiscuz-sort-button-active');
in /plugins/wpdiscuz/assets/js/wpdiscuz.js and wpdiscuz.min.js

Note: Core plugin files will be overriden every time the plugin updates! Don’t use this edit unless you’re aware of that.

Thank you for sharing this information

Has this been updated yet? If not, then I will use the code provided by Saishuni. ??

Navigate to wpDiscuz Settings > Show/Hide Tab > and enable “Set comments ordering to “Most voted” by default” option.

Found it, thank you ??

I just realised that it orders by “most voted” instead of “highest rated”. Will the option to sort by highest rating be added in the future too?

It would be great if there was a dropdown menu on the settings page that allows for extra options. Like “Show newest comments first”, “Show highest rated first”, etc.
