Oh, this sounds nice. I expected, that the timestamps are not even stored
in the db, since they are not included in the delivered gpx. Maybe one
could implement this, when touching the code to change to ascending
order? - This would allow to split the track into track segments which
would help to draw arrows only if the time difference is less than some
threshold...
