The View > Sort > Last Comment Time is incorrectly greyed out for a synced collection, though I'm able to select Sort: Last Comment Time in the bottom tool bar. (LR CC 2015.7 / OS X 10.11.5.)

I am trying to sort comments bu using this feature. Can anyone tell me why the "Last Comment Time" s grayed-out in Sort?

That looks like a bug to me. Instead of using the View menu, try using the sort order on the toolbar to select Last Comment Time, that should work correctly.

You may have to click on 'Review Comments' via the yellow dialog box on the collection first.

For me with a huge catalog (675k) Lightroom can take a while to update collections sync info, so sometimes I just have to wait a little.

I had the same issue and this was the first result from a Google search.
For anyone else finding this you can still sort by last comment by going to:
Library -> Review Comments

I'm having that greyed out menu item as well. The bottom tool bar does work.

That's too bad you couldn't get it to work. But at least we have two concrete, reproducible bug reports filed.

The option View > View Options > Thumbnail Badges was checked. I had created a new collection with photos that hadn't been edited.

Now, I edit some.

Those screenshots should be very helpful to Adobe.

Regarding the lack of the comment badge in the lower-left corner of the thumbnails, it looks like all badges are missing, including the badge that indicates a photo is in a collection. Verify that the option View > View Options > Thumbnail Badges is checked:

If that doesn't help, try resetting LR's preferences: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?25197-Resetting-the-lightroom-preferences-file-updated. LR sometimes soils its preferences, causing the user interface to go weird, and resetting often fixes things.
