Item10017: CommentPlugin ignores order of entries when target is not the current topic

When using the commentplugin with a type of "belowthreadmode" or "tablepretend", normally the newest entry gets on the top of the list/table. When using a target topic other than the current topic, the order is wrong, so the newest entry gets always on the bottom of the list/table

Insertion is always done relative to the target, be it a COMMENT tag, regular expression, on top/bottom of the topic. Can you provide a specific example illustrating how you think it is going wrong? You can use the Sandbox web on this site.

Look at SandBox -> CommentTestForItem10017 - there I define another Topic as Target. In the Target Topic, SandBox -> CommentTestForItem10017Target , the newest entry is at the bottom instead of the top of the table.

The tableprepend and tableappend when used with a target must also include an anchor so that the plugin can find the table. With prepend, insert the anchor ahead of the table, and with append, insert the anchor after the table. As Crawford mentioned above, you could also use a regular expression to find the table.

I've updated your Sandbox test to show the prepend anchor operation.
