Hi mt, > Is there a way to do this without ripping apart the layout algorithm?
Yes, there is a fairly easy solution to your problem. But first I will describe why the newer events appear on top of the older ones. This is because Timeline sorts all events in the reverse order before displaying them. Here is an example that demonstrates the default order: http://alexeysmirnov.name/playground/test2.html I have added a flag eventOrder: Timeline.FORWARD, that makes it possible to change that. Along with a few updates of the algorithm that chooses a free track the modified timeline generates the following result: http://alexeysmirnov.name/playground/test2-forward.html As you can see, I am hosting the Timeline on my own website. You can either use it in your application through <script> tags or download the modified JS: http://alexeysmirnov.name/playground/timeline/timeline_js/timeline-bundle.js Alexey On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 9:41 PM, Mike Travers <mtrav...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I've got a little hack where I've hooked up Twitter the Simile > timeline widget.
