UX: Default Comment Order on Model Page

I like to respond to reviews and comments through the comment feature of models. However, as both a creator and a user, I find it obstructive that new comments are not displayed first. This is particularly annoying when I want to access a comment through the notification feature.

Moreover, the fact that the default sorting order using ‘TOP’ seems to be based solely on the sum of interactions (comments + likes) appears counterproductive to me. In my experience, this leads to particularly inane comments and negative reviews, to which the creator responds, receiving special attention. It bothers me when such discussions are at the top of my model page, which can lead one to refrain from engaging in dialogue altogether, as these comments then disappear into obscurity. However, I fundamentally strive to learn more about potential issues.

Therefore, I would advocate for a more neutral and, in my opinion, helpful standard sorting, ‘Newest First’. I would eliminate the ‘Top’ option, as it is opaque in terminology and essentially covered by ‘Most Likes’ and ‘Most Replies’. What are your thoughts on this issue?
