Setting Facebook comments web plugin

Question

The default sorting order of the facebook comments plugin is by social status. How do I set the default order to reverse chronological on my web page?

Answer 1

Another option inspired by Jan Turoň's solution:

1. put your fb:comments in a div with id "comments":

1. use jQuery to change the generated iframe's src:

    $('#comments iframe').attr('src', $('#comments iframe').attr('src') + '&order_by=reverse_time')

Of course, you can do this without jQuery.

It loads the comments' frame twice, but it works in all cases without harcoding the iframe's src.
