 * Hello! A few years in my functions.php was written this mod:
 *     ```
       if (! function_exists ('iweb_reverse_comments')) {
           function iweb_reverse_comments ($ comments) {
               return array_reverse ($ comments);
           }
       }
       add_filter ('comments_array', 'iweb_reverse_comments');
       ```
   
 * This allowed me to display the comments in reverse order:
    _Page 1: Most new 
   comment …. Page 10: The oldest comment
 * After upgrading to WordPress 4.4 this code stopped working (it worked fine on
   version 4.3) and WordPress now displays on the first page oldest comments:
 * _Page 1:
    The oldest comment …. Page 10: Most new comment
 * Discussion Settings in an administrative panel does not help.
    If this function
   can not be converted to work with WordPress 4.4 – who can tell where I can change
   the query that selects comments and add the ‘ORDER BY comment_id DESC’?

 * I found a temporary solution:
    wp-includes/comment-template.php Line 1285
 *     ```
       $comment_args = array(
       'orderby' => 'comment_date_gmt',
       'order' => 'ASC'
       ```
   
 * Change To DESC.
 * If someone can write new code to use in functions.php I will be grateful!
