How to override the output of a views field of type comments

My goal is to create a views block that shows the comments of the current node.

I succeeded in creating a views block that includes only the comments field of the node ID from URL.

However, the commenting form is shown below the comments list. I want the form to show above them.

I use the theme olivero, and the normal node display shows the comments form above the comments list.

I see that the node display uses field–comment.html.twig, which allows to change this order in the normal node display. This contains:

{{ attach_library('olivero/comments') }}
<section{{ attributes }}>
  {% if comments and not label_hidden %}
    {{ title_prefix }}
    <h2{{ title_attributes }}>{{ label }}</h2>
    {{ title_suffix }}
  {% endif %}
  
  {% if comment_form %}
    <h2{{ content_attributes }}>{{ 'Add new comment'|t }}</h2>
    {{ comment_form }}
  {% endif %}
  
  {{ comments }}

</section>

However, views does not appear to have a specific comment field display that allows for adjust this order.

The views template available is views-view-field.html.twig
What it contains is merely: {{ output -}}
If I create a twig template like views-view-field–commentfieldname.html.twig
then the output shows the form below the comments list.

If I replace this {{ output -}} with the code in field–comment.html.twig then nothing appears.

Please assist with making the form show above the comments list in views.
Thanks
