I am getting error as ** "The external search command 'xmlkv' did not return events in descending time order, as expected"** along with my search results.

Dashboard functionality works as expected and search results are getting displayed. Please find the code snippet for one panel for reference and suggest. There are 6 panels altogether with different queries.

<form script="SBT.js" refresh="320">
      <label>SBT </label>
    <search id="baseSearch">
        <query>
             source="log.2020-05-08"
          | rex field=_raw "((?<LogType>(\w*))\s(?<MsgCode>(\d+))\s((([a-zA-Z0-9]|[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9\-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])\.)*([A-Za-z0-9]|[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9\-]*[A-Za-z0-9]))\s(?<TimeStamp>(\d{8}\s\d{6}))\s(?<TextMsg>([\w\s.:,/()]*)))"
         | rex field=number "(?<Number>([\d]*))/\d"
         | xmlkv maxinputs=10000
         | rename "SBT-type" as Mtracktype "SBT-exception-code" as MTrackECode

         | sort -LogTimeStamp
