Right now, GitHub doesn’t provide a way to reorder the commit list in the 3-dot “Compare changes” view — it’s always displayed in chronological order from oldest to newest. The order is determined automatically by GitHub’s compare engine, and there’s no setting or toggle to reverse it. If you need the newest commits first, the only workaround is to view the branch’s commit history directly (which supports reverse order), but the compare view itself cannot be changed. |
