Actually, I would be interested to know how the comments are sorted.

It's upvotes with some sort of recency bias so that newly posted comments get a few minutes near the top of the thread to be seen.

  • The sum of upvotes of the comments which replied to you are probably also into the score

You might be interested to know that sometimes they show YOU that your comment is posted, but it isn't. No one else can see it.

So you're really just farting into the wind, because Hacker News thinks your time is free. Assholes.
