FB does sort comments by “relevance” now by default which might be related to likes on the comments, but who knows.

They are also piloting comment voting.

I'm not in the social space, but I assume that "piloting" has a specific technical meaning. My guess is "altering to maximize engagement and/or revenue."

Not sure, but I imagine it means testing on a small percentage of users.
