Yeah, that's exactly what I see.
Is this new, or is it something I accidentally turned on?

(5,582 posts)7. I think it's by default, but I don't know what triggers it

(19,554 posts)10. "5 newest" is a useful feature if you're following a thread with lots of responses
and you want to see the most recent, especially if the responses are in subthreads.

But I don't see that option anywhere
