X has introduced a new feature designed to enhance user experience and provide greater control over reply visibility. Users can now sort replies to their posts by three options: most relevant, most recent, and most liked.

This update is a direct response to the often-chaotic nature of reply sections, particularly for high-profile accounts that amass a deluge of comments. Previously, the platform primarily prioritized replies from verified users, often overshadowing more timely or engaging contributions.

While the exact algorithm determining “most relevant” replies remains undisclosed, the other two options offer straightforward sorting methods. By introducing these choices, X aims to empower users to navigate the conversation in a manner that best suits their preferences.
This feature began rolling out over the weekend and is expected to be available to all users in the coming days.
