Does anyone know of a hacker news viewer that can sort an article's comments chronologically or on another criteria? My only gripe with the default site is that there is no way to quickly locate the most recent comments on an article.

It would. Whether you should is another thing entirely. I'm asking why noone seems to even offer the option?
I can't speak for anyone else, but if it were me, I wouldn't expect anyone to trust me enough to use it, so why bother?

#76The only offline offering on that list does it for articles, but not for comments. So, right axis, wrong direction for me.

I've tried a few of the alternatives, but I always come back to the main HN site. A lot of the alternative sites are laggy; these either cache their DB fetches or simply only refresh on a schedule.
Right now the only thing I'd change, is move the Search box from the bottom of the page to the top - simply because I always forget it's there.
Actually, thought of a second one - a native RSS feed for the '/newist' page - I currently use the feed provided by HNRSS, but it's not realtime.
