X has rolled out a fresh feature allowing users to sort replies by most relevant, most recent, or most liked, aiming to enhance the user experience on the platform. This update is designed to streamline the reply section, which can often become overwhelming, especially on posts from high-profile accounts with large followings.

Previously, replies from verified blue check users often dominated the top of the list, potentially overshadowing newer or more pertinent comments. Now, users have more control over how they view interactions on their posts.
The “most relevant” sorting option might still prioritize replies based on existing algorithms, but the new sorting methods for “most recent” and “most liked” offer a chance to cut through the clutter and focus on the comments that matter most.
X has begun rolling out these changes this weekend, promising a more tailored and less chaotic browsing experience.
