Yes, I would like to see it sorted only by time and by what comment it is in reply to. Possibly I could try to use GreaseMonkey to reorder them by ID number, maybe. (Are the order of ID numbers the same as the order by time?)

However, I am not saying that it should be sorted only by time for everyone, but only by the user who has changed their account options to specify that as the default sort order.

Yes, IDs are monotonically increasing over time. So you could write a script that, within each comment nesting level, extracts the ID and sorts.
