This screenshot is from the "Post 1 screenshot..." topic where I have to go to the last page to see the latest comments. Isnt it the same for you, guys?
Ordering inside a thread is oldest to newest and this is so on all forums I know of.
What you refer to is a thread. Not a board.

So what you actually talk about, you would like to see this tread made into a board. Like that one for example.
https://itch.io/board/10022/release-announcements
Although that one also has some kind of upvoting mechanism on top of being ordered by newest first.

Go to page 2 and higher, to see the lessening effect of the upvotes. I only cited that board, because the thread you posted was a thread about games. The board you posted this question, https://itch.io/board/580406/ideas-feedback is sorted by date of last post. Newest on top.
It does not matter if we are talking about boards or threads or topics or messages, it would be cool if I could set a default ordering (newest-to-oldest, or oldest-to-neweset) that is applied to everything, regardless of votes and everything. When I open any page, I would like to see the newest contents without clicking on "last page" and/or scrolling through many thing that I already saw.
Yes, that's how it works on any forum. Topics are ordered from newest to oldest (weighted by upvotes where enabled). Posts inside a topic are ordered from oldest to newest, so you have to check the last page to see what was said recently. That way you can see at a glance which conversations have recent activity, then read each conversation in order.
