[Skunkworks] Sorting of comments on nation.co.ke

Why do the online news sites insist on sorting comments in a descending order? Its really hard to follow the flow of other readers' comments if you have to scroll all the way down, then up to the next comment, down as u read it, up again, etc. nation.co.ke, and I think capitalfm.co.ke and eastandard.net. Its especially hard for those of us reading from the kawaida gprs fones.
