X introduces new reply sorting feature

X has announced a new feature allowing users to sort replies to posts by three criteria: "Most relevant", "Most recent", and "Most liked". This feature is now available on both iOS and the web version of the platform.

The new menu aims to reduce the impact of replies from blue-verified accounts, which often contain irrelevant content. The "Most relevant" option raises some questions, as it's unclear exactly how it determines the ranking of replies. It likely highlights replies that have generated the most overall interest. Meanwhile, the other two options provide clearer choices and allow users to better tailor their X experience, gaining access to the most relevant and engaging discussions related to any post.
