X introduces new reply sorting options that don’t rank blue check users higher

X has introduced new sorting options for replies to enhance user experience, allowing users to sort comments by most relevant, most recent, and most liked. This feature is particularly beneficial for posts from accounts with large followings, where replies can quickly become overwhelming. Previously, replies from blue check users were prioritized, often overshadowing other comments.

The new sorting options help users navigate replies more effectively, reducing noise and highlighting meaningful interactions. While the criteria for "most relevant" replies remain undisclosed, the update aims to provide a more streamlined and engaging experience. This development is part of X's ongoing efforts to improve user interaction and content discovery, showing a commitment to better managing high-traffic conversations. The update began rolling out over the weekend, so users should start seeing these changes soon.
