# Playing with wp_list_comments()

 * I’m just altering my theme to use the new wp_list_comments() function in conjunction
   with the paged comments options that are also new.
 * Things are working well, but I’d like to alter the way each comment is numbered.
   At the moment, each page of comments I go to has the comments numbered 1 – 20.
   What I’d like to do is have them numbered in the order they have been posted.
 * So one post I have has 142 comments. I have them split into pages of 20. Each
   page I look at has them numbered 1 – 20, instead of 1 – 20 on page 1, 21 – 40
   on page 2 etc.
 * It doesn’t appear to me that I can add an argument to wp_list_comments() to change
   this. Any ideas?
