Description

Some subreddits have posts with a suggested commemt sorting method. A use case I've seen are when long running posts exist but recency is important. In this case New sorting is suggested. I wouldn't want New to be my default sort but I do want it when I view comments on such a post.

It would be nice if RedReader had a toggle in Settings > Behavior > Sorting section. Something like 'Override default sort method and use suggested method if one is present'.

Research direction

Start in Settings > Behavior > Sorting and trace how RedReader selects the comment sort method for a post. Done means the setting is available and enabled users receive a post's suggested sort when one exists, while the existing default remains unchanged otherwise; verify the behavior in the Android app.
