Hi Felix,

That is indeed correct and there is also a live demo available at the following page:

Kendo version 21.2.0 introduced a new property "eventsOrder", which can be used to reverse the order of the events.

See:

I strongly support this feature request. In many use cases (like displaying announcements, updates, or logs), it’s more intuitive and user-friendly to show the latest events first. Currently, the Kendo Timeline component doesn’t provide any option to reverse the order, and trying to sort the data manually doesn’t work because of internal sorting.

Please consider adding a sortOrder: 'asc' | 'desc' or a callback like sortComparer. This flexibility would make the Timeline component much more useful across different real-world scenarios.

Looking forward to seeing this added!

If you comment out as below in the timeline.component.ts file, the list passed to [events] will be displayed in the order of its sorting.

Having the most recent date first would be great.
