Currently, Lemmy sorts the comments by Hot, and there is no way to change this. This scripts changes the default behavior to sort by Top, this default can be changed by editing the defaultSort variable in the code.

    Hi, thanks for the script… but it doesn’t seem to work for me. It changes the option to “Top”, but the comment’s order doesn’t changes.

      Same for me, using it on lemmy.world right now which is on UI: 0.18.2 BE: 0.18.2-1-g68276b2f9, and not only does it not sort, but it prevents me from upvoting posts. Going to disable it for now, but I would really like this feature. In the meantime I’m using https://mlmym.org or http://old.lemmy.world/ which has a comment sorting option in the settings.
