How do comment voting and flagging work?

Recently I looked at this question. The second answer has more than 5 comments so comments can be expanded. If I do so, the order of comments changes. This does not seem to make sense. Correct me if a system is behind this behaviour.

This is by design.

Comments with positive score will appear first, as it usually means "those are good comments".

Also, see this: How does comment sort order work?

  • I respect the design decision, but the concept does not feel very intuitive. Normal users will have problems understanding the idea, I think.

    Might be so, in my opinion it's a good thing but I'm not normal user, lol. You can start new post here on Meta tagged feature-request asking to change this behavior but I don't think you will have much luck..

It is not the order of comments that changes. Some comments are excluded from the compact view and included in the full view. But the order remains the same.
