Splunk Search

Why is time value being reversed?

When I run the following search, the time is being show as the oldest first, but SysLog being shown as newest first

index=a host="1" [search index= a host="1" 166.87.245.164 id=* | fields id] | stats values(_time) AS Time values(src) as Client_IP values(syslog_message) as SysLog by id | sort -Time

How can swap either Time or Syslog so they match.

Switch from values to list but beware that list tops out at 100 values:

index=a host="1" [search index= a host="1" 166.87.245.164 id=* | fields id]
| stats list(_time) AS Time list(src) AS Client_IP list(syslog_message) AS SysLog BY id
