Review: Good - script works

Thank you very much for this script, it is very useful and works exactly as intended.

In my opinion, to be perfect the script lacks a small detail, I hope you can add it:

All sorting options (Review date, Review rating, etc.) have 2 sub-variants of their own: Ascending order and Descending order. On the Imdb page, next to the options box there are two arrows up and down, with which you can change that. The default order is descending, that is, the "Review Date" will show the most recent comments first and the "Review Rating" will show the highest rating first. By clicking on the arrows, the order can be reversed to show the lowest rating first. This is very useful, since in general the 10 point ratings tend to be fake reviews, while the lowest ones tend to be the most realistic ones. That's why my default order when entering the comments section is always: "Sort by Review Rating" and in "Ascending order" (lowest ratings first).

By clicking the arrows the URL changes from "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13640696/reviews?sort=userRating" to "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13640696/reviews?sort=userRating&dir=asc&ratingFilter=0"

At the moment, with the script you cannot choose that combination by default. You can only choose the "Review Rating" sorting option, but it will show by default in descending order and then you'll have to manually change it to ascending order.

It would be interesting if the script could change not only the default option, but also the order, so that the user doesn't have to change anything manually.

I hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and anyway, thank you very much. I also use one of your other scripts, the one to fix Imdb links, that is awesome too.
