Yes, so you need to be one of the first comment threads. Once you get about 4 comment replies deep, the views (and, thus, upvote tally) go way down. Secondly, the top-level threads are almost always sorted by the first comments because the first ones to comment generally amass the most upvotes. Sure, technically, it's sorted by upvotes, but if you have the highest upvotes by virtue of being first, it's basically the same thing.
