Hoping anyone can help.

Sometimes our team collaboration causes a single cell to have ~100-200 replies.

I can't understand why Excel made is so that old comments show up first and new ones, way way way at the bottom.

Does anyone know if there is any way to reverse this?

Thank you!
 
It would seem that you can't change the sort order within a comment. The only other option I can suggest is to either run some code to copy the comments as cell entries into another sheet/workbook via VBA or use the Inquire Tab where you can use the Workbook Analysis tool and use the Cells with Comments and it provides another workbook with just the comments. Which I don't think is what you want. Sorry but I can't find a solution for you.

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Thank you, apppreciate all your help - will probably have to make do with the native sorting

Thanks again!
