In the example above, you might decide that each event was in fact correctly dated but that the rows were in the wrong order. Indeed, this is the most likely cause if you have been entering each event in a new row at the bottom of the table as it came to hand. Chronolator will fix this for you with the Sort Tables button. When you press it, you can choose to sort the table in ascending or descending order:
If you press Ascending, the table is sorted like this:
All the events are now in order. Some errors remain, but we will leave them for now.
The Case Review Administrator can include optional End Date, Start Time or End Time columns. These might not have to be completed for every event.
If so, you might wonder how Chronolator will deal with a mixture of events, some with completed times or end dates and some with blanks.
The answer depends on whether events are sorted in Ascending or Descending order. If Ascending, events with blank Times or End Dates are put before those with specific information: if Descending, after. The following examples illustrate this.
Ascending order ![]() | Descending order ![]() |
