First of all, i choosed critical because i think this should be fixed before 4.7 rc.

Second, i didnt supply a patch because im not sure how to solve this.

Now the report. It seems like comments are displayed in some random order if you are logged in with user id#1. Also, if you change the comment options in admin/comments, it always resets display order to newest first.

I cannot duplicate part 1 of this; as user #1 I made several attempts to get comments to appear in a random order.

I will say that comment/admin has no options for searching comments, but sadly that is a lack of features and not actually a bug.

For #2 the fix was a one line typo correction, patch attached.

Tested this patch. Applied 4 comments and then viewed them from both the first acct created and from a test account I created. All showed up in descending order, starting with the most recent comment.
Works! +1
