    Hi partner,

    Could you provide a screenshot of the properties of the timeline?

    Click on timeline in the form editor and click Change Properties, then click on the Activities tab.

    Please check if ‘Sort timeline by’ is what you want.

    Hi! Do you also know, if it is possible to show the date of creation instead of the date of modification on the timeline directly?

    The sorting is correct now, but the date looks strange...

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi I don't  think that would be possible, i also tried to do the same while ago when i was making activities migration. Anyway i leave you this link, which is one of the thorough and  comprehensive one that i've found online (as well as @Lu Hao's response) :

    Thank you Marco! Unfortuntely, is just describes the process how to change the sorting, but the visual date is still based on the "last updated" one...

    Hi, you can use a card form for each activity and show this card form in the timeline. The card form can be customized with all the fields you need.

    Hi,

    I just had the exact same problem. When I investigated the properties of the timeline on the form I could then see that the sort order was based on the due date. Changing it to last updated now.

    Peter.
