    I am using the Metabox Cloneable group field to create a timeline. Currently, it contains 50 fields, and I regularly add new data every few days.

    By default, there is an 'Add more' button at the end of the list, which adds new content to the bottom.

    However, I need to display new content at the top of the timeline. Although I have enabled the 'Sortable' setting, I must manually drag the new content from the bottom to the top each time I want to add it, which is time-consuming.

    Is there a way to add new content directly at the top instead of the bottom? Is there a setting that allows this?

    If not, could there be a workaround to send newly added content to the top position or to the second or third position from the top?

    Please help me with this.
    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Currently, we don't support adding a new cloneable entry to the top of the section and showing the "Add more" button at the top. However, it is an interesting idea. I will inform the development team to consider supporting this feature in future updates.
    If you use the code to output the cloneable field value, you can use the PHP function array_reverse() to reverse the order of cloneable entries.

    Oh! I understand.

    Please consider adding this feature in upcoming updates. Currently I use Metabox with Bricks Builder .. so, don't really use code 🙁

    Usecases:
    - I have several wordpress pages where a long list of repeatable entries is maintained and some integrations (e.g. OxygenBuilder with OxyExtras) do support using metabox repeater fields but do not allow altering the order (e.g. random, reverse, etc.).
