Printable issue view not respecting sort order

When viewing an issue, if you click on the "sort order" arrow on the right side when viewing say the comments,
then click on the "printable" link at the top next to "Issue details", the printable view does not respect that sort order
selected on the normal view. Also, but in the same vane, we changed the default sort order in the jira properties
and the printable view is not respecting that setting.
Browsing through the code, I saw that the printable view is done completely differently from the normal Issue View and
did not see a quick and easy way to correct the problem.
