WP Comment Sorter Released

Ronald Huereca of RAProject.com has told me that his Comment Sorter plugin has gone live. Comment Sorter is a plugin that allows you and your readers to organize the comments on a blog.

How many times have 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.

This is a pretty cool plugin and I think it will disable the need to actually go into your WordPress theme’s comment.php file and change around the code to manually separate trackback/pingbacks from the actual comments.

You can download version 1.0 by clicking here. If you are interested in seeing some screenshots showcasing the plugin, check out the Comment Sorter Media Page.

This will be the second plugin of Ronald’s that will be in use on this blog. Ironically, they both deal with commenting. Thanks Ronald for another fine contribution to the WordPress community.
