Chronological replies for threads
For those of you avidly following BSERV-7451 in Jira, you may have seen that Bitbucket Server has been working on reordering comments on threads. In our 5.12 release, activities related to comments will be ordered based on the newest comment in the overall thread, with any reply anywhere in the thread hoisting that activity to the top of the overview.
All other activity types (updates, approvals, etc.) are still ordered by when they occurred, since none of them represent data that can change after the fact.
We may continue to refine areas such as the visibility of replies that haven't been read, so we welcome feedback from you on this feature.
