2007-01-05: Patch rebuilt on latest 4.7.5 release of Drupal with a much clearer description of the problem.
2007-04-28: Patch was rebuilt for 5.1, and recent posts about 5.x dev version shows problem no longer occurs. I looked at the 5.x dev code and found my patch code integrated without a notice in the Issue. Now to wait and see when it goes live.
2007-08-08: 5.2 is here, but the patch code was backed out. I've reposted it with my test case even more clearly described.

Comment sorting is broken:
2006-11-01: Observed.
2006-11-06: Fixed! Comments weren't sorting properly because the phpBB2Drupal forum conversion module gave them very poorly made internal IDs, causing any added comments to get out-of-order IDs. I wrote a PHP script which zipped through all of the comments and re-sorted them in about one minute. (Development time? About three hours.) Patching the phpbb2drupal module is my next trick.
2006-11-09: phpbb2drupal module patch submitted.
2006-11-28: Patch accepted.
