The following steps used to sort datasource based on date and time in the JavaScript Timeline component.

Step 1 : Implement the Timeline component using our Getting Started documentation.

Step 2 : To achieve this requirement, Send the Timeline component data source as a parameter to the sortDatasByDateTime method.

Step 3 : In the sortDatasByDateTime function, sort the data source based on date and time using the sort function.

Step 4 : Define a helper function which is parseDateTime to convert the datetime strings in the data source into JavaScript Date objects. This will allow you to sort the items chronologically.

[index.js]

// Function to parse datetime strings

function parseDateTime(datetime) {

return new Date(datetime);

}

// Function to sort data based on datetime values

function sortDatasByDateTime(data) {

return data.sort((a, b) => {

const dateA = parseDateTime(a.datetime);

const dateB = parseDateTime(b.datetime);

return dateA - dateB;

});

}

// Sort datas array

datas = sortDatasByDateTime(datas);

var defaultTimeline = new ej.layouts.Timeline({

items: datas,

orientation: 'Horizontal',

});

defaultTimeline.appendTo('#default');
