I just checked over my data one more time and I'm sure that there aren't any typos. I also tried using someone else's example JSON code and the timeline still puts the into tracks based on date, so the earliest dates are first. I'm still looking through the function that you mentioned but I'm not entirely familiar with the code so it's taking me some time to figure it out. The automatic resizing might have something to do with the theme class and autoWidth, but again, I'm new to this and unfamiliar with how all of the pieces fit together. Any ideas?
