This may well be a core Aurora bug, but I figured there's no harm in filing it here (and I don't have access to any other Aurora instances at the moment :))
It doesn't seem that my "Default sort order" preference is honored. I'm one of the weirdos who likes to read an entire conversation in order, from oldest to newest. Seeing the newest comments at the top just confuses me.
So, I have selected my default sort order to be "Oldest to newest" (right side of screenshot)
Despite this, it seems that just about everything (everything?) sorts in "Newest" order (middle of screenshot)
I'd expect the system to honor my individually-set preference over any other system-wide preferences.
