I think the best UX would be a ascend/descend button for the replies. I’m trying to decide whether to just use comments for my custom post type. It would be really nice to view the thread by navigating to the forum as well as on each custom post.
It works great with the shortcodes I used ([bbp-single-topic id=whatever]), not sure which shortcodes SandyRig used. If I needed to control when the replies are asc or desc, what would you recommend? I’m using a custom post type; could I just add a meta box that calls the change_reply_order if checked for desc?

Is the shortcode method something that could be edited? I could really use this functionality, but only on certain sub-forums/topics.
