   This is what's in the theme I'm using
   <?php wp_list_comments('callback=custom_comments'); ?>

   I need the comments to order from newest to old.

   This is the custom_comments function

   // custom comments
   function custom_comments($comment, $args, $depth) {
   	$GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment;
   	global $commentcount;
   	if(!$commentcount) {
   		$commentcount = 0;
   	}
   ?>
   
   	<li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; if($comment->comment_type == 'pingback' || $comment->comment_type == 'trackback') {echo ' trackback';} else if($comment->comment_author_email == get_the_author_email()) {echo ' admincomment';} else {echo ' regularcomment';} ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
   
   		<div class="authorinfo">
   			<?php
   				if($comment->comment_type != 'pingback' && $comment->comment_type != 'trackback') {
   					// Support avatar for WordPress 2.5 or higher
   					if (function_exists('get_avatar') && get_option('show_avatars')) {
   						echo '<div class="authoravatar">';
   						echo get_avatar($comment, 24);
   						echo '</div>';
   					// Support Gravatar for WordPress 2.3.3 or lower
   					} else if (function_exists('gravatar')) {
   						echo '<div class="authoravatar"><img class="avatar" src="';
   						gravatar("G", 24);
   						echo '" alt="avatar" /></div>';
   					}
   				}
   			?>
   			<div class="authortext">
   				<?php if (get_comment_author_url()) : ?>
   					<a class="authorname" id="commentauthor-<?php comment_ID() ?>" href="<?php comment_author_url() ?>">
   				<?php else : ?>
   					<span class="authorname" id="commentauthor-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
   				<?php endif; ?>
   
   				<?php comment_author() ?>
   
   				<?php if(get_comment_author_url()) : ?>
   					</a>
   				<?php else : ?>
   					</span>
   				<?php endif; ?>
   				<div class="date"><? printf( __('%1$s at %2$s', 'blocks2'), get_comment_time(__('F jS, Y', 'blocks2')), get_comment_time(__('H:i', 'blocks2')) ); ?></div>
   			</div>
   			<div class="count">
   				<?php if($comment->comment_type != 'pingback' && $comment->comment_type != 'trackback') : ?>
   					<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="MGJS_CMT.reply('commentauthor-<?php comment_ID() ?>', 'comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>', 'comment');"><?php _e('Reply', 'blocks2'); ?></a> |
   					<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="MGJS_CMT.quote('commentauthor-<?php comment_ID() ?>', 'comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>', 'commentbody-<?php comment_ID() ?>', 'comment');"><?php _e('Quote', 'blocks2'); ?></a> |
   				<?php endif; ?>
   				<?php edit_comment_link(__('Edit', 'blocks2'), '', ' | '); ?>
   				<a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"><?php printf('#%1$s', ++$commentcount); ?></a>
   			</div>
   			<div class="fixed"></div>
   		</div>
   
   		<?php if($comment->comment_type != 'pingback' && $comment->comment_type != 'trackback') : ?>
   			<div class="content">
   				<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
   					<p><small>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</small></p>
   				<?php endif; ?>
   
   				<div id="commentbody-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
   					<?php comment_text() ?>
   				</div>
   			</div>
   		<?php endif; ?>
   
   		<div class="fixed"></div>
   	</li>
   
   <?php
   	if ($oddcomment == 'oddcomment') {
   		$oddcomment = '';
   	} else {
   		$oddcomment = 'oddcomment';
   	}
   }
   ?>

   Any help is appreciated!

   Did you look at the
   reverse_top_level and reverse_children parameters for wp_list_comments?

   Something like:
   

   ?php wp_list_comments('reverse_top_level=DESC&callback=custom_comments'); ?>

   That also looks like that can be controlled via the Comments should be displayed with the [older/newer] comments at the top of each page setting in Administration > Settings > Discussion

   Thanks! I wasn't aware that there's an option for that in the admin cp.

   Thanks again.

   This doesn't invert the Comment Numbers!

   Is there an option to change this also?
