Hi, I’m currently learning about SEO and I’m not sure if this is a bug, or if it’s intentional.

When setting `Nested replies default sort` to `top`, I think google should receive the same information that a user viewing a thread should.  
I know the googlebot view (Googlebot as the Browser User Agent) is paginated, but I think the order should remain the same.  
Currently, this is not the case:

Again, I might be wrong here, feel free to move the topic if that is the case. Thanks!
