Hi all, i have a query for transaction,

source="abc_data1_*" index="testing" sourcetype="_json"
| transaction startswith=(STATUS="FAIL") endswith=(STATUS="SUCCESS")

The events in the results are considered from most recent to oldest. But i want this  transaction to consider the the older data first to the processing. I want the data to be sorted from the beginning and then apply the transaction. "Reverse" doesn't work with this.Anyone knows how to do this?

8/4/21 is not older than 7/30/21

Can you share some of your raw events as it doesn't look like your transaction command is working.
