Option to invert the direction of time in timelines, so that one scrolls backward in time, rather than forward
New Feature Addition · Timelines · Created by StoryTellersAnnex
accepted
timeline
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
When one scrolls down a timeline, one scrolls forward in time. This means that to see the most recent history (where the current action is, perhaps), one has to scroll. There doesn't seem to be an option to invert that.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
It would put most recent history first, and when one scrolls down the timeline, one scrolls back in time.What are other uses for this feature request?
It would allow one to put the immediate focus on the present where it is likely the current action (of a story) is happening.The Team's Response
Yes, good addition for the next version/

on 2022-07-18 01:24Brilliant idea! It makes more sense to start from current time and go backwards, than scrolling from the "beginning of time".

on 2022-07-16 09:39Good idea. It totally depends on the nature of the timeline so it should be possible to select either. Just to add a (slightly) mischievous alternative which the devs might not like, but you could make this a "sort direction" option for the user when it is being displayed, allowing viewers to flip the timeline view themselves, rather than a one time design choice. Might be a bit harder to implement but ordering a list online is a thing in other contexts.

on 2022-07-10 15:07A checkbox to make this optional would be quite crucial. TTRPG games might focus on the present while for book series we need to start with the past to forego spoilering stuff instantly, so both are needed use cases and I would not support just directly replacing it
