Hi & Thank you Alexey, I will try to swap the order and get the newest items on top. However, there will still be items pushed out of sight - unnecesarily.
That is because I am using the compact painter with images ON the timeline, like in this example : http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/examples/compact-painter/compact-painter.html And only images with EXACTLY the same date/time seem to get stacked. That's a pity, because if that would be changed to images that are within a certain distance from one another (a range), a lot more events would fit on the same spot. Can you / someone push me into the right direction of where tot start looking for changing the "EXACT" date/time approach for stacking, into a "RANGE" date/time approach for stacking the images?
