I am working with Splunk for the first time and I am using this data:

I want the output in the same order as it was present in the original file, however, I am not able to get it using any sorting options.

A basic search without a sort command will return the events as they were indexed, but with the newest first. To see them oldest first, use the reverse command. You can also use sort _time.
