I recently somehow messed up my reddit sorting. By default when I open a thread, it sorts by new, not top. I prefer to see Top, but cannot figure out how I can revert this change. I have looked through all of the RES settings, and changed a few (that did nothing and I reverted them) that I thought might work.
Can someone please help me? I can't think of anywhere else to ask this.
In Comment Threads

Simply click the down arrow next to 'sorted by: option' to view the drop-down menu. You can select sort by top from here.
In Site Preferences
If that doesn't do the trick, you may have accidentally toggled it in your site-wide preferences. Visit https://www.reddit.com/prefs/ to check:
