commentary ordinality

Have you considered changing the comment order to first-to-last? I know that last-to-first makes a lot of sense for, like, comments on blog posts and such, particularly when there is a high comment volume (it discourages "FIRST"-type posts), but I see no benefit to having the comments display like this for forum content. Since nested comments appear top-down anyway, it has the strange effect of like reversing comment order depending on whether it is a a direct reply or a lateral reply to the higher level. If that makes sense. (Go look at my most recent comment in the hexagon thread to see what I mean.) Thank you.
