How are responses ordered on RallyPoint?

Ok I searched for awhile for this topic, and didn't find anything, so I can only assume that as per usual once I post it, suddenly 3 similar topics will appear to the right under "Similar Topics"

That being said, I have to ask, how the heck does the programming order the responses to posts? It seems to be completely random.

It is certainly not chronological or by update. I go through responses that were made months ago with no activity on their response (IE no one commented on their response) and then I find mine made minutes ago, then I find more month ago posts, and then some from a few hours ago. It makes it hard to find the active responses.

Am I the only one seeing this? Is there some sort of organization I am not seeing here?

I believe that if some responses get "sub comments" or up votes, they tend to get precedence over the rest. But then, what do I know.

You can sort the responses to a specific discussion. Default is by "votes" but you can change it to "newest" or "oldest", you'll see the dropdown right across form the "Top Responses:" box. If you are on the mobile app, not sure if you'll see this or not.
As for discussions under a comment, I don't know.
Also wish we could sort the discussions themselves chronologically, but no response for that yet.
