Im having an issue when trying to dedup some values. Here are the logs of servers states im having in Splunk, from the latest to the oldest

1 - UP
2 - UP
3 - UP
4 - UP
5 - DOWN
6 - DOWN
7 - DOWN
8 - DOWN
9 - DOWN

When trying to dedup with dedup state consecutive=true i get the following results :

1 - UP
5 - DOWN

Is there any way to get instead the following results ?

4 - UP
5 - DOWN

That is to say the oldest result for UP values, and the latest for DOWN values.

Thanks in advance !

You can do this

your base search giving latest to earliest listing of states
| reverse | dedup state consecutive=true

OR

your base search giving latest to earliest listing of states
| dedup state consecutive=true sortby +_time
