    Ah. So what I want to do is display the last page of comments fist by default. But I only want to do that for this particular page (I’m using a if is_page statement in the comments form). Anyone know if it’s possible to tell the comments to display the last page first in comments.php?

    So nevermind, I went about it a different way. Perhaps this will help someone else in the future, who knows. I just queried the database to pull up posts for that particular page ID:

    <?php
global $wpdb;

	$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT ID, post_title, post_password, comment_ID,
	comment_post_ID, comment_author, comment_date_gmt, comment_approved,
	comment_type,comment_author_url,
	SUBSTRING(comment_content,1,50) AS com_excerpt
	FROM $wpdb->comments
	LEFT OUTER JOIN $wpdb->posts ON ($wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID =
	$wpdb->posts.ID)
	WHERE comment_approved = '1' AND comment_type = '' AND
	post_password = '' AND comment_post_ID = 90
	ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 13";

	$comments = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
$comments = array_reverse($comments);
	$output = $pre_HTML;
	$output .= "\n
<ul class='sonnet-lines'>";

	foreach ($comments as $comment) {
	$output .= "\n
<li>"."
<div>" . strip_tags($comment->com_excerpt)
	."</div>

</a></li>

";
	}

	$output .= "\n</ul>

";
	$output .= $post_HTML;

echo $output; ?>
