Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A comment sorting option called "Chat" and "Forum"
Describe the solution you'd like
On the official Lemmy web UI, you can sort comments by Hot, Top, New, Old and Chat. Please add a Chat sorting option.
Also, please add a "Forum" sorting option which will be the same as Chat except in reverse, showing the oldest comment first to the newest comments last, and will be ordered like a forum thread.

Additional context

I recommend changing your issue title; it appears to refer to something else than the body of your issue -- the title refers to date/time (which already exists), but then the body refers to forum/chat.
Please add a Chat sorting option.
Just a note that this is less about sorting (Chat just uses New sorting) and more about how the comments are displayed (i.e., flat). We would need to introduce the concept of a ViewType in addition to the existing SortTypess.
