Hi,
One frustrating thing about comments, is that when you make a reply to one as the Admin, your comment just appears in the flow of comments ordered by date/time stamp.
But I would like some of my Admin comments to appear right after specific comments.
In the MT web interface, there's no ability to change the date/time stamp.
I edited the HTML for the thread, where the comment appears and moved the source for the comment around. Is this the only/best way??? Or is there some other way?
Thanks in advance for your replies...

If you want to actually create a relationship between comments, then the best way is to use comment threading:

If you want to just trick the admin console using dates, then there is no good way to do that short of editing the database. If you want threading in the admin console, then you'd need to file a feature request.
Thanks Mike. I have been searching, but cannot find the path to the comment database.
It's the table mt_comments in your database.
Sorry, I'm so dense. I'm looking for how to find the physical Unix path where this database is and cannot seem to find it.
You need to log into the database to make those changes. If you don't know how to do that, and/or don't know SQL, then I would advise you to read up on all of that before you even think about proceeding.
