  • From what I have found, items in a group by default will display vertically in the order they are listed. This will only be if they overlap in time. Here is an example:

    If our items are:

    {

    {

    id: 1,

    start: date(2024, 01, 01),

    end: date(2024, 03, 01)

    },

    {

    id: 2,

    start: date(2024, 02, 01),

    end: date(2024, 04, 01)

    },

    {

    id: 3,

    start: date(2024, 05, 01),

    end: date(2024, 06, 01)

    }

    }

    Then, we would see Item 1 appear at the top of the group, then we would see Item 2 underneath it, and Item 3 would appear next to Item 1 on the timeline, as they do not overlap. Hope this helps!
