The default sorting order of the facebook comments plugin is by social status. How do I set the default order to reverse chronological on my web page?
I know there is an option on the top of the plugin. But not all users know about it and the sorting order is confusing.
Just guessing I added
data-order-by="reverse_time"
to the div provided by Facebook and it worked nicely. So, loading the pluging with the standard html5 code provided here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/
just add the data-order-by attribute like this:
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="YOUR_URL" data-width="470" data-num-posts="6" data-order-by="reverse_time"></div>
