I have a query as source="C:\Data\acctdata\snm4-logger.log" "Customer has successfully retrieved file"| rex "::\s(?\S+)\s"| rex "^\S+\s(?\S+)." | rex "\s(?\S+)\s((?\d+)\srecords/(?\d+)\sbytes)$"| stats count sum(record_count) as RecordCount sum(byte_count) as ByteCount by timestamp userid .I want to sort the timestamp in descending order
so that result would be

userid RecordCount ByteCount timestamp
