Unfortunately, the favorite wordpress theme carrington-blog displays the comments in a reverse order. By default, the newes comment is shown at bottom. If you want to display the newest comment on top of list, you have to follow these instructions:
Open the file themes/carrington-blog/comments/comments-default.php
if ($comments) {
// add this command to reorder the comments
$comments = array_reverse($comments);
$comment_count = 0;

I’ve just tried it with 2.2. It also works. Are you sure you made the correct changes?

Cannot get it to work in version 2.2. Am I doing something wrong?

To keep the select menu working in the admin panel you can change the line above to the following.
if ($comments) {
// add this command to reorder the comments
if(get_option(‘comment_order’) === ‘desc’){
$comments = array_reverse($comments);
}
$comment_count = 0;
This way you can still switch between how you want them ordered without it being hard coded.
Thanks for the help Michael, this really helped.

Probably, you can use this also in different wordpress themes.
