Simile Timeline change order of lines

How do I change the vertical order of event lines in Simile Timeline? Where in the code does it decide what order to put them in?

Solution

  • I have tried looking into this also. I am convinced it is random order.

    This not the answer you wanted but try using this timeline

    http://almende.github.io/chap-links-library/timeline.html It is quite flexible, you can choose your create your own layout and use your own CSS/HTML in each individual event.

    Edit: Found a attribute that you could use to change the order

    trackNum - used to override the automatic layout of events on the Timeline.
