Comment Sorter WordPress Plugin
Allows readers to choose the comment sort order and allows for filtering of Trackbacks/Pingbacks.
How many times you been to a blog where Trackbacks/Pingbacks were interspersed with the regular comments? Or perhaps you wanted the comments to be displayed with the latest one on the top instead of the bottom. With Comment Sorter, readers can disable Trackbacks and also decide what order they would like to read the comments.
As an admin, you also have the ability to assign global options to your comments that you can't normally do in the WordPress admin panel. For example, if you want Trackbacks to not show on all of your posts, you can do that without modifying any template files. You can also change the default sort order of the comments.
