 * I’m using a comment rating (karma) plugin to display “top rated comments” list
   above the standard comment loop.
 * In comments.php
 *     ```
       <?php global $wp_query;
       	 $comment_arr = $wp_query->comments; usort($comment_arr, 'comment_comparator');
        wp_list_comments('callback=aaa&page=%orderby=comment_karma', $comment_arr); ?>
       ```
   
 * In functions.php
 *     ```
       function comment_comparator($a, $b)
       	{
       	$compared = 0;
       	if($a->comment_karma != $b->comment_karma)
       	{
       		$compared = $a->comment_karma < $b->comment_karma ? 1:-1;
       	}
       	return $compared;
       	}
       	if($a->comment_karma == 0)
       	{
       	$compared = $compared2;
       	}
       ```
   
 * Basically the code checks for rating and sorts comments according to the value,
   the problem is it returns the full list of comments (only sorted via rating),
   where I would like it only to return comments with > 1 rating.
 * Thanks

 * Unfort. I was not able to solve it the “clean” way.
 * What I ended up doing is putting a display:none; style on the comments from the
   top rated loop to hide them completely on the site. Then using the Karma Comments
   settings I put a display:block!important; style on the high rated comments (so
   the display:none; was overwritten).
 * It works, but like I said it is not a clean way to do this. The “non-rated” comments
   are hidden, then replaced with rated once (in my case) 5+ more of them are rated
   by the users.
 * Still would like to find a better solution 🙂

 * Many thanks! I’ll keep you posted if I find an alternate solution.
