Allowing Timelines to be categorized by weight

timeline weight position

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

The ability to change the weight order of timelines to make them appear chronological instead of alphabetical.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Right now, you can only list timelines alphabetically. This doesn't help when timelines can be a variety of names and different years, such as...   Greek Era (800 - 400 BC), Macedonian Era (400 - 300 BC), and the Hellenistic Era (300 - 146 BC)   In the above example, you can see how the eras appear chronologically. Now, if I were to make those into timelines here on WA, they would appear as the following...   Greek Era (800 - 400 BC), Hellenistic Era (300 - 146 BC), and the Macedonian Era (400 - 300 BC)   This would be confusing to look at, especially for someone who is viewing your world and you have fictional eras. They might click on the links in alphabetical order and be confused why the year order doesn't match the name order.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

None that I can think of.
