how to display newer comments first

Last week, I came up with this post in which we discussed about the position of the comment form – Above or Below comments.

NB: I show you below exactly how to display newer comments first

I had interesting arguments from readers but a majority augured in favor of placing the form above comments. Whatever the result is, I recommend doing test on your blog in order to make an informed decision.
