Getting Data In

How to sort the contents of a list by timestamp

I'm currently querying

source="log" | stats list by Id

Which gives me nicely grouped data.

However I would like the content of those groups sorted by Timestamp.
That is to say I do not want the groups themselves sorted but the records inside each group.

Right now they will sorted in reverse-chronological/descending order of timestamp (_time field). Do you want to sort in ascending/chronological order? If yes, try like this

source="log" | reverse | stats list by Id
