X introduces new reply sorting options to improve your social media experience

X introduces new reply sorting options to help you find the most relevant, recent, or liked comments, improving your social media experience.

X, the popular social media platform, has rolled out new options for sorting replies that enhance your experience by allowing you to see the comments that matter most to you. Whether scrolling through a popular post or checking out the replies to one of your own, these new features are designed to bring more order to the often chaotic reply sections.

Three new sorting options

With this latest update, you can sort replies by three criteria: most relevant, most recent, and most liked. Each option offers a different way to engage with the content, making finding the replies youโ€™re most interested in more accessible.

If you choose to sort by most relevant, youโ€™ll likely see replies similar to what youโ€™re already accustomed to. X hasnโ€™t provided specific details on how it determines which replies are most relevant, but this option seems to prioritise comments that align with your usual interactions.

For those who want to stay up-to-date with the latest conversations, the most recent sorting option lets you see the newest replies first. This feature is handy if youโ€™re following a developing conversation or want to be part of the ongoing dialogue without missing the latest comments.

Alternatively, the most liked option lets you sort replies based on popularity. This is a great way to see which comments have resonated the most with other users, giving you a quick snapshot of the most engaging content within a thread.

Cutting through the noise

Before this update, the replies from users with blue checkmarks were often prioritised, sometimes burying more recent or relevant comments. This led to a somewhat skewed view of the conversation, where the voices of verified users could dominate, even if their replies could have been more pertinent and timely.

Now, with the ability to sort by most recent or most liked, you have more control over what you see and can cut through some of the noise. These sorting options allow for a more balanced and personalised experience, ensuring that the content at the top of your feed aligns more with your interests.

Rolling out gradually

The update began over the weekend and is expected to reach all users soon. Whether you’re a casual user or regularly engaging with popular posts, these new sorting options are set to make your time on X more enjoyable and tailored to your preferences.

These changes underscore Xโ€™s commitment to improving the user experience and ensuring that the platform remains a space where you can easily find and engage with the content that matters most. As the update continues, you can explore these new sorting features and see how they enhance your interaction with the platform.
