That same problem still exists even when sorting by upvotes, because the earlier a comment is posted the more people will see and be able to vote on it, pushing it higher.

That’s a very good point. Also, the later comments don’t get seen by many people, and that’s why they don’t get many votes either.
Obviously, sorting changes all that, but I don’t think many people sort posts and comments by new. If you don’t touch the settings, things are sorted by hot.
